The Sherman House Museum in Lancaster, Ohio, is the birthplace of General William Tecumseh Sherman and his younger brother U.S. Senator John Sherman. The Sherman House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Civil War Preservation Trail and has been a memorial to the Sherman family since 1951. The Sherman House Museum and the Georgian Museum are owned and operated by the Fairfield County Heritage Association. The original frame home built in 1811 consists of a parlor/dining room, kitchen, master bedroom and children's bedroom. The Sherman family added onto the house in 1816, including a parlor and study for (father) Judge Charles Sherman. All of these rooms have been restored to look as they would have when the Shermans lived here. A brick front was added to the house in 1870 and this Victorian parlor is furnished almost completely with furniture owned by the General and Ellen Sherman when they lived in New York City after his retirement. It includes a parlor set originally owned by General Ulysses S. and Julia Grant. Upstairs is a Civil War museum, including a re-creation of General Sherman's Civil War field tent and interactive exhibits.
