CARSON HOUSE

Carson House

The very dignified Carson House, included on the National Register of Historic Places,  was originally built by Richard Brown, founder of Brownville, and later in 1864, became the home of John L. Carson, an early Nebraska banker, and his family. Mr. Carson's daughter, Rose, bequeathed the house to the Brownville Historical Society upon her death in 1966. Many of the original furnishings remain in the house. This property also includes a wonderful carriage house.

Our museums are an important part of the BHS mission. We invite you to spend time in each of them and learn about Nebraska, the United States and our shared history. Our museums are always free to the public. Hours of Operation are 1 - 4pm CST Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from early April through October. Small or large group tours can be arranged by contacting Steve Woerth at scwoert@gmail.com.
