Historical Significance:

This house was erected by Joel Scribner, a founding father of New Albany. Three generations of this family lived in the house; they were the only family to reside in this house. The last Scribner, Miss Harriet Scribner, sold this house to the Piankeshaw Chapter in 1917 for $1500. The house contains many Scribner family treasurers, antiques, and three paintings by George Morrison, who was from the New Albany area. Other antiques of that same time period have been donated to the house/museum.
