Скачать или смотреть Culbertson Mansion - Shirley Bucket Excursion

On this Shirley Bucket Excursion, my wife & I along with our two nieces take my sisters Shirley and Marietta to New Albany for a tour through the Culbertson Mansion. This house became an Indiana State Museum and Historic Site in 1976. Built in 1867, the 25 room, three story, French Second Empire architectural style mansion was the home of William Culbertson who was once the richest man in Indiana. Around 1840, Culbertson and his brother John opened a very successful dry goods business in New Albany. He started a utility company in 1854 and in 1868 he was a major investor in the Kentucky-Indiana Railroad Company, William Culbertson was also very active in local civic affairs, funding the construction of the Culbertson Widows Home in the early 1870s and the Cornelia Memorial Orphans Home in 1882.
