Information

This historic home is open to the public for tours on the first Saturday of each even month (February, April, June, August, October and December) from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. and at other times by appointment. The house has been restored as if Dr. Willella Howe-Waffle was still living and working there -- and includes many vintage furnishings and medical furniture from the turn-of-the-century. The grounds include an original carriage barn with a vintage horse-drawn carriage. The twelve room home was built in 1889 and was the Dr. Willella's home office. The house was moved to its present location in 1974 and has been beautifully restored by craftspeople and community volunteers. It is presently the house museum and headquarters of the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society.
