The Historical Markers says its the home of Samuel Murrell in 1840's who used the home as a Stagecoach Inn between Louisville Ky and Nashville Tn..it was also the farm homesite of Susannah Henry Madison, Patrick Henry's sister..very fascinating stuff.. The home is brick and lovely. I actually pulled into the driveway to turn around, and no one was at home. The log house on the property is also on the National Register of Historical Places. Susannah Henry Madison lived in the log house. We stopped so I could take a few pictures. I would love to go inside but it is a private home now.

My family and I was in town from Louisville for my daughters cheer competition. Whenever we visit towns we like to check out public art and unique or obscure places in the towns. Deep in a Google search I discovered the Roseanne house was in evansville. How cool is that? I loved this show growing up. I couldn't wait to get This page added to Yelp and share my experience. It is very much an active and lived in house. It does not offer tours which is fine because the show was shot in a studio audience. So the outside of the house is all that was ever used. So you get your photo ops from the street level. To respect the current owners policy we stayed across the street. A few other people did the same. This house is located on a side street right across from Evansville university. I'm not sure the connection to the show and this house in Evansville but it was a cool trip down nostalgia lane for me. Overall very cool and fun find and an easy few minute place to check out. Lastly, I wonder if this house goes all out on Halloween decorations? How cool would that be? Roseanne show had the coolest and best Halloween episodes that I still love to watch every October.

While we were also visiting Evansville during our Urban hike, we found this Historical Jail and…read moreResidence located across the 4th Street from the Old Evansville Courthouse. The building is gorgeous as well and has a long history; History: jail Evansville is rich in exquisite examples of 19th century American Architecture. The Vanderburgh County Jail and Sheriff's Residence at 208 N.W. Fourth Street is an excellent example from this period. This castle-like fort, designed by architect Henry Walters, was modeled after the Castle of Lichtenstein in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. Therefore, the structure is familiar to Evansville's German-born residents. This Gothic-inspired building was originally crafted from stone, which simplified its construction a good deal. Evansville's natural environment has rich subsoil, which combined with abundant rainfall and high mean temperatures, yields an abundance of stone, sand, and fine clay for bricks. Evansville's prime location along the Ohio River also allowed a direct shipment route for imported stone products. In addition, natural deposits of coal and iron in the area provided inexpensive means of operating brick kilns and iron foundries. The building itself is designed to invoke fear in the observer. Its exterior consists of step-gables, projecting turrets, crenelated roof lines, simulated portcullis, and a central keep, or rounded tower. The entrance presents pointed arches to lengthen the appearance of this part of the building. All of these elements add to the castle-like appearance of the structure. The Vanderburgh County Jail is also connected to the former Courthouse, which lies across the street, via an underground dungeon-like tunnel. During the time of the jail's use, the tunnel served as a passageway to transport prisoners to and from court. Presently, however, no nervous inmates are forced to make the tedious walk down the tunnel, nor are they required to sleep in the jail's less than spacious cells. The building now houses commercial offices. However, one cell still remains to allow modern visitors to take a look and imagine what life may have been like in the old Vanderburgh County Jail. The building was closed when we were there but it is FREE to walk around and take photos.

this will be a totally mixed review. i had a totally, totally bad experience signing up for a ghost…read moretour with a group of friends for my birthday (details later). the tour itself was really quite good. i suppose i should start off by saying that i love non-profits and particularly non-profits that deal with historic preservation. i volunteer at one frequently and wouldn't want to do anything to go against their mission. myself and three of my friends decided that we would all go on a ghost tour for my birthday. one of my friends is quite thoughtful and proactive and said that she would call in advance and get the reservations made. she also said that there was incentive in doing so because the tickets would be less expensive. she called two days ahead of time and left a message. i called the next day and didn't leave one. we never got a return call. on the day of the ghost tour (and my bday) i decided to pop into the office and ask if my friend was on the list yet. i said that i would purchase tickets if she wasn't. the lady in the office fumbled through the list and couldn't find my friend's name. the other lady found her name scrawled on a paper buried beneath a bunch of other papers and indicated that those were the people she hadn't yet had time to contact back. this normally wouldn't have been a problem, but i was also informed that all the tours except for the one at 9PM were all sold out. also, we were going to take two legs of the tour, and the 9PM tour was the last one. i kind of lost it. it was my bday. you're allowed to be a brat, right? anyways....i thought it was totally lame that we were being denied a place in the tour just because the lady working there hadn't followed a logical pecking order. i guess i freaked out sufficiently, and the lady was probably worried that i wouldn't stop....so she conceded to add three extra people to the 9 o'clock tour. i still hadn't confirmed with two of the three birthday celebraters if this would be ok...and i was worried because they had a small child at home, but it turns out those times were ok for them. the lady said 'it's only $9, and it goes to a good cause'....she didn't say $9 for each person and each tour. i suppose i could have scalped the tickets if my friends had not been able to go at that time. i'm glad that they were able to go, but this laissez-faire treatment i received over something that was illogical and rude on their part was completely infuriating. so...we went to the meetup spot for the 8 o'clock tour, and we were informed that they were running late. we went on the tour, and it was fun, but it ended too late to go on the 9 o'clock tour. fortunately the ladies back at the meetup spot were sensitive to our plight and very understanding. they refunded us for the tour we didn't get to take, as well as the additional $2 off each ticket that we were supposed to have received for calling in advance to make the reservation. i would never undermine a preservation non-profit, and i don't write a lot of negative reviews in general. i'm from the midwest where i was taught to not say anything if you can't say anything nice. i just wanted people to know what to expect when dealing with this particular organization. clearly it's a mixed bag!

Personally when I go to a library I prefer to look for a nook/cranny that I can snuggle up in with my books and laptop. This library does not really offer that. It has some tables to sit at, but each floor is just one giant room, and the sound from the other side of the library can carry all the way over to you. The children's area is not separated from the rest of the library, which I think was a mistake. Aside from my personal preferences, this is a beautiful, up to date library that is a great asset to Daviess County and surrounding counties.

I would get treated with super strong attitudes. The machine would break, money orders get stuck, and attitudes given out for free.
