Slifer House Museum Closed for Exhibit Reorganization
January 1, 2010
The Slifer House Museum, located on the campus of RiverWoods Senior Living Community in Lewisburg, will be closed during January and February for a reorganization of exhibits and some house cleaning. The Museum will reopen on March 1st. The spring hours and exhibit and event plans will be announced in late February.
The Slifer House Museum is a grand Victorian mansion built by Eli Slifer as a 'country estate' for his family. With initial success as a manufacturer, Eli Slifer later achieved prominence as a politician, ultimately serving as the Secretary of Pennsylvania during the Civil War. Designed by Philadelphia architect Samuel Sloan in 1860, the house cost $8,000 to complete. The museum is owned and operated by Albright Care Services, a faith-based, non-profit organization.
The Slifer House Museum is available in January and February for limited special events or meetings. For more information or to schedule an event, call (570) 524-2245 or visit www.sliferhouse.org.
