Guided tours and rich artifacts of Victorian life
Jerome B. Wheeler built this Queen Anne style home in 1888. Despite his plans, his wife Harriet Macy Valentine Wheeler refused to leave their mansion in Manitou Springs, Colorado and the family never lived here. Edgar and Mary Ella Stallard moved into the house in 1905, eventually purchasing it in 1917. The family lived here for forty years. The house last served as the residence of the Aspen Institute's president before the Aspen Historical Society purchased it in 1969. Currently, the Aspen Historical Society's new exhibit, 'Out of Your Mind, Body and Spirit: Voices of Aspen', 1975, explores the swirling mix of forces that shaped the Aspen we know today.
