The Gordon-Roberts House is a beautifully preserved Victorian home built for the President of the C&O Canal, Josiah Gordon in 1867. After 20 years of residence, the Gordons sold the house to W. Milnor Roberts and his family, and the house is named for the two families that lived in it. Today, the house operates as a museum that offers a sample of life in the late 1800s and features rooms filled with period furnishings, clothing, toys, and music. Operated by the Allegany County Historical Society, the museum is open Wednesday through Saturday and costumed docents offer guided tours on the hour.
