Dunham Tavern Museum & Gardens

Dunham Tavern Museum & Gardens An inclusive place that inspires and enriches lives through history, nature, and community.

Once a stagecoach stop on Buffalo-Cleveland-Detroit post road, today Dunham Tavern Museum is the oldest building still standing on its original site in the city of Cleveland. The 1824 home of Rufus and Jane Pratt Dunham in MidTown Cleveland is a designated Cleveland Landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In stark contrast to the cityscape that surrounds it, the museum and its

gardens offer a glimpse of history and insight into the lifestyles of early Ohio settlers and travelers.

This project is still progressing, but we are thrilled to be well on our way to creating this beautiful space! 🦋 🦋 🦋
