This home was built in 1888 primarily by W.T. Morgan for the wealthy Strobridge family. It is said that the Iowan family was the first in the valley to live in a home with lace curtains and carpeted floors. After four years, the Strobridge’s moved back East and sold the home to Miles and Mary Groshart. The Groshart family lived in the home for the next 50 years, raising five children and two grandchildren. In 1945, Bill and Mildred Hays bought the home that Bill’s father had a hand in building and sold the home to Tom and Rusty Cobb in the late 1960’s. The Cobb family donated the grand home, and it was moved to the museum December 19, 1993.
