Lavish elegance and opulence are the foundation of this Georgian Revival house. Built in 1903 during the Cattle Baron Era of the West, this house was designed and occupied by Electra Waggoner'daughter of cattleman William T. Waggoner'and her husband. Today it is considered a historic landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.The house contains 18 rooms, each filled with turn-of-the century furnishings, some of which are originals. Oak-paneled halls and solid granite pillars are just a few of the fine craftsmanship details. The house is known as much for its architectural design elements as it is for the families who occupied it. Guided tours are offered to provide insight on the family and the house's design and creation, as well as on local history.Admission is $4 for adults, $2 for seniors and students, and free for children younger than age seven.
