LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A study will soon be released that will continue to fund the preservation and management of a historical site in southern Indiana.
The detailed and comprehensive cultural landscape study of the Culbertson Mansion in New Albany by the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites will be completed later this year, according to a news release.
The study, which began in 2023, will serve as a valuable resource, identifying ways to further manage and preserve the site. The study will also show how to improve visitor experience by giving deeper insights to the historical significance of the mansion and the area.
The study has been funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Interior and the National Park Service's Historic Preservation Fund.
The Victorian home, built from 1867-69, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Visitors can tour the mansion to admire its beautiful architecture, hand-painted ceilings and ornate spiral staircase, all while learning about the mansion's history and significance to the area.
This is the first comprehensive study about the Culbertson Mansion and its surroundings.
