Moses Fowler House
It has served the community for over 125 years and with the carefully researched and implemented $15 million renovation in the mid-1990s, it will do so for many years to come. A self-guided tour brochure is available online and group tours can be arranged through the Convention and Visitors Bureau (minimum of 10 people please).
