Hi friends! You may have noticed increased activity around the beautiful May-Stringer this morning. We received a donation that was potentially hazardous (unbeknownst to the donor!) The curator notified the proper authorities to handle the situation.

We’re closing today as a precaution. Thank you for understanding!

BREAKING: Hernando County Sheriff's Office and Hernando Fire are on scene of the May-Stringer House in Brooksville for a hazardous incident.

The surrounding roads will be temporarily shut down until the situation is under control. More updates will be provided when available.

Friends, we are unexpectedly closed today, but plan to re-open and welcome everyone back for tours tomorrow!

Thank you for understanding :)

Today we celebrate 250 years of our nation’s history, resilience, and the generations who have shaped the story of the United States.

In observance of Independence Day, the May-Stringer House, 1885 Train Depot Museum, and Countryman One-Room Schoolhouse will be closed on July 4.

We hope you enjoy a safe and meaningful holiday with family and friends. We’ll see you when we reopen as we continue preserving and sharing Hernando County’s history. We look forward to welcoming you back next week with normal operating hours.

❤️🤍💙 Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

This Victorian mansion is part heritage museum, part architectural oddity, and part ghost story.
