Wolcott House Museum

Home of the Maumee Valley Historical Society, the Wolcott House Museum Complex takes visitors back to the early 19th century and gives you a peek at what pioneer life was like in the Maumee Valley. Named for James Wolcott, a prosperous businessman during the late 1820's to the mid 1840's, the complex consists of seven historical buildings. Of the seven structures, only the Wolcott House is original to the site. Built by James Wolcott and his wife, Mary Wells, granddaughter of Miami Chieftain Little Turtle, the Wolcott House began as a log house and evolved into a beautiful 14-room Federal style mansion between the years 1827 and 1836.
