Two hundred and fifty years ago an ancestor of the house visited in Spain and brought home the plans for the castle, which is a rectangu lar two-story box, with three sides. The museum occupies one wing, the other two are housing units with food containers, drying tobacco leaves, pillows and old feather beds airing on the window sills. They look not unlike the Marion hotel during legislative session!
