1880's Home of T.B. & Ethel Sutton

This is a Guided Tour which highlights the history of the Sutton Homestead and its residents over the years. Many personal items in the home are original to the Sutton family and other donated items compliment the home to create an authentic atmosphere.​ The interior of the Homestead is changes several times each year and is especially beautiful during the Christmas season. Even if you have visited before, you will find something new on your next visit.

​

When you exit the Sutton Homestead, you will step into the Pioneer Village which features the Eller Grist Mill, Blacksmith Shop, Basket Weaving Shop, Broom Museum, Agriculture Museum,  1950’s Gulf Service Station, and the Antique Car & Transportation Museum.  In addition, the Village features an 1820s cabin and historically accurate homestead with a small farm atmosphere reminiscent of the early 19th century.

 ​

The Sutton Homestead, the Granville Museum and Transportation Museum are all included in a Section 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization committed to preserving the history of the riverboat farming community for future generations. Your donations are appreciated.
