Who We Are
Welcome To Phelps Mansion Museum
In 1868 and 1869, Sherman David Phelps, a banker and businessman, bought three adjoining properties along Court Street. The three existing houses were torn down so that construction could begin on a new home. The initial cost for the mansion was projected at $70,000.
