The charming Ohio River town of Aurora is home to Hillforest Victorian House Museum, a stately 1855 Italian Renaissance mansion just blocks from the river and downtown historic district. Home to industrialist and financier Thomas Gaff and his family between 1855 and 1926, the mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992. The building’s Italianate architecture is reflected in its circular porches and colonnades, curved doors and windows.
Open April 1-December 31
HOURS – Tuesday–Friday, 11am – 3pm
