If you like historical places, you should see this small town colonial home. And if you do, make sure you check out the death mask. It was nice to learn about the history of The Black House.

Haven't been here yet, but it is open if you call for a tour. On the list of U.S. National Register of Historic Places.nnBuilt on acreage that was originally outside the city limits of McMinnville, this house is a good example of the Federal style that once lined our city's streets. Jesse Coffee built the home in 1825, but removed himself and his family to Viola the next year. This restored structure was subsequently home to a Revolutionary War solider, Lt. James Sheppard, and to Samuel Laughlin (a close friend of President James K. Polk) and to Judith Harrison. Mrs. Harrison planted the large magnolias in the front yard and helped introduce horticulture to McMinnville, leading to the city's number of renowned gardens in the 1800's. A Confederate surgeon, Thomas Black (1837-1904), purchased the home in the days after the War Between the States and maintained his clinic and office there. His granddaughter, Jean Leonard, deeded the house and contents to the Eagle Fund for restoration in the mid-1980s.
