Dunham Tavern Museum & Gardens An inclusive place that inspires and enriches lives through history, nature, and community.

Once a stagecoach stop on Buffalo-Cleveland-Detroit post road, today Dunham Tavern Museum is the oldest building still standing on its original site in the city of Cleveland. The 1824 home of Rufus and Jane Pratt Dunham in MidTown Cleveland is a designated Cleveland Landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In stark contrast to the cityscape that surrounds it, the museum and its gardens offer a glimpse of history and insight into the lifestyles of early Ohio settlers and travelers.

We've wrapped up another year of Cleveland History Days! Thank you all for coming out to talk historic foodways with Elizabeth Greco (with Peter Greco playing our 1850s piano in the Parlor!) and tour the Museum as we kicked off History Days, and for joining us this past weekend for a "Declaration Exploration" with The Lantern Theatre at Dunham Tavern Museum as History Days came to a close. We are proud to be a part of this amazing city-wide celebration!
