Step back into the elegance of the late 19th
Century by visiting the J.E. Reeves Victorian Home & Carriage House
Museum. This opulent mansion, the former home of prominent Dover
industrialist, Jeremiah E. Reeves, has been restored by the Dover
Historical Society. The 17-room home, topped by a third-floor ballroom,
has been carefully restored to its original splendor. This lovely mansion
features the unique treasure of containing all of the original furniture
and antiques that were the property of Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Reeves - all
of which are arranged as they would have been 100 years ago. Visitors to
the home acquire the feeling that the Reeves Family has just stepped out
of the home. The beautiful family furniture and decorative objects can be
viewed up close, as there are no ropes or barriers prohibiting your
entrance into the rooms.
Adjacent to the Home is the Carriage House
Museum, which contains an interesting collection of vehicles, including a
handsome horse-drawn carriage, the Reeves Family sleigh, a rare 1922 Rauch
and Lang electric car, and a doctor's buggy. Throughout the Carriage House
are special display areas which include records, photographs, local
products, and mementos tracing the events of Dover's past. A gift shop is
also available.
