James C. Jordon built the Stately and palatial Jordan house back in 1850 C.E., which is now a Museum that displays various rare artefacts and information pertaining to the region of Wes Des Moine, in the 16 spacious rooms. Visit the Museum to witness a fine example of the affluent Italianate Architecture style, the ornate furniture and furnishings that give you a glimpse into the impeccable craftsmanship of the bygone era, and the objects on display that familiarize you with the history and development of the Town.
