Zalud House - Murder Chair and Stuffed Bird
A Victorian estate preserved as the Zaluds left it, with the majority of furnishings from their family. Several things to note: Pearl Zalud's dead pet bird placed lovingly in a case, and a chair that was involved in a local murder. The chair still presents with the bullet hole; the murderer was acquitted.
The gardens are beautiful and still host weddings.
