Play

The Wylie House Museum offers visitors an opportunity to enjoy to a house as it might have looked in the 1840’s. The house was originally the home of Dr. Andrew Wylie, Indiana University’s first President. Wylie House was inhabited by Wylies for nearly 80 years; Andrew Wylie built the house in 1835 and lived there with his wife Margaret and ten of their twelve children. In this week’s Activate! volunteer docent Cindy Smith describes her pleasure in getting to enjoy the house’s ambience and in the wide array of visitors that come through Wylie House.
