Hernando Heritage Museum |
The Hernando Heritage Museum is located downtown in the circa 1843 Stringer House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum houses over 6,000 antique items, the oldest of which is probably a baby doll thought to be about 200 years old. Another item of interest is the wood mantle in the living room, or parlor, which has been in place since the house was built; most of the wood items were lost and all of the furnishings taken when the house was abandoned in the 1860s and homeless people took it over, burning items for warmth.
Tours of the historic building's furnished rooms are offered which include a Civil War display, a re-created schoolroom, and a collection of period medical equipment. Open Tuesday-Saturday afternoons; school groups admitted free. Located just north of the junction of Hwys 50 & 41.
