Welcome to the Historic Carson House!

Carson House 2025 Season

We are excited to announce that our new Interpretive Center will be completed in August and we anticipate reopening the museum around the end of September. We are planning a Grand Opening of the Interpretive Center to coincide with the beginning of our 2026 season in April. Check back for details!

Jubilee Arbor

The Jubilee Arbor at the Historic Carson House was finished in 2015 and is an educational and community event space. Built in the same style as a community meeting house of the 19th century, the beautiful beams and classic design make this a stunning location for school picnics and weddings alike.

The Jubilee Arbor will continue to serve the community throughout 2024 despite the construction of the Carson House Interpretive Center. Visitors attending events in the Arbor should not venture beyond the temporary fence that will enclose the construction site which is immediately behind the historic house. If you are an organizer of an event in the Arbor and have concerns, please contact our Arbor manager, Amy Metcalf, at 828-724-4948
