The Hixon House is a beautiful look back in time at an authentic Victorian home. Built in 1858 by lumber baron Gideon C. Hixon, this Italianate house features beautiful woodwork and lavish interior decoration. He and his wife Ellen raised their five sons in this home and expanded it to the size it is today. Ellen, decorated the Hixon House in the Aesthetic fashion, and it has been preserved much as it was after its last remodeling and redecoration around 1900. The Hixon House has approximately 90% of its original furnishings, making it unusual among historic houses. In 1965, their descendants gifted the house to LCHS complete with its original Victorian and Arts and Crafts furnishings. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
