The Carter House Museum, located in Elkader, Iowa, is a historic 18-room Greek Revival mansion built in the 1850s by Henry Ernest Carter. This nationally registered historic site offers a glimpse into the lives of Iowans from 150 years ago, furnished in authentic 19th-century style.

In addition to its rich historical displays, the museum is committed to promoting local history through initiatives such as the transformation of a bedroom into a beautiful reading room adorned with murals by local artists. The Elkader Historical Society, which operates the museum, aims to preserve the area’s past and engage the community's interest in its heritage.
