Victorian Cottage
 

The Victorian Cottage Museum (formerly known as the Lombard Historical Museum) is an 1882 historic house museum that provides information and examples of a middle-class Victorian household as part of the history of Lombard. 

The museum features four period rooms with décor from 1870-1885. In addition, the site also has an 1870 two-story carriage house that stores our archive and collection, a c.1860 three-seated privy, and Colonel Plum’s garden shed, originally on the site of Lilacia Park.

Be sure to stop by the Emporium for gifts, Lombard souvenirs, and exhibits on Lombard history.
