Little Dixie Room

In this room, you can see the style of furniture from mid-19th century and before. Imagine a lady swooning on a fainting couch when her beau comes a calling. Inspect the intricate stitches on numerous quilts and coverlets, one dated 1834. General Sterling Price’s four corner poster bed stands proudly in the bedroom. Wonder at how people have changed when viewing the tiny waisted clothing worn by women. And how narrow the shoes were! Would you like to have taken your weekly bath in a hip bathtub by the cooking stove?
