Frazier Farmstead Museum

Free; donations welcome. Group tours by appointment.
Frazier Farmstead Museum is a six acre site listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was settled in 1868 by community founder W.S. Frazier and continuously occupied by his family for 115 years. In 1983, the entire estate and its contents were willed to the Milton-Freewater Area Foundation by his descendants. It is operated and maintained as a restored house and farm museum by the Milton-Freewater Area Historical Society.
The Frazier home was built in 1892 and houses a fine collection of antique furnishings and other items of the 19th Century daily living. Most of the furnishings are the original items to the home.
The site also houses a 1918 barn, a carriage house and several other buildings, all of which were an integral part of a turn-of-the-century working farm.
Rental of the house and extensive grounds are also available for weddings receptionist and other events. The facility is closed January, February and March.
Big Band barbecue benefit, last Saturday in June.
