The Carter House Museum in Elkader, IA offers a captivating journey back in time as visitors step into the 18-room Greek Revival mansion built in the 1850s by Henry Ernest Carter. Furnished in 19th-century style, the museum provides a glimpse into the lives of Iowans from 150 years ago.

Supporting the Elkader Historical Society's mission to preserve local history, the Carter House Museum continues to make the past relevant with ongoing efforts, such as transforming a former bedroom into a beautiful reading room adorned with a mural of historic downtown Elkader by local artists Jim Walch and David Williams.
