The Taft Museum of Art is an historic living history and art museum housed within the former residence of Charles Phelps and Anna Taft, the half-brother and half-sister-in-law of United States President William Howard Taft, who resided in the house between 1873 and 1929. The Greek Revival-style home is best known as the site where Taft accepted his presidential nomination in 1908 and has been a designated National Historic Landmark since 1976.
Since 1952, it has been open to the public as a living history museum, showcasing the fine art collections of the Tafts, including European master works and 19th-century American paintings by artists such as Thomas Gainsborough, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, and Adriaen van Ostade. Significant collections of Chinese ceramics, European decorative arts, and historic watches are also on display and may be viewed. It offers free-admission self-guided tours on the third Sunday of each month. Children under 18 are also admitted free daily with paying adult admission. Public special events hosted at the facility throughout the year include lectures, gallery talks, and live music performances.
