The
Weeden House Museum, located at 300 Gates Avenue, Huntsville, Alabama is home to the artwork of Maria Howard Weeden
and currently
houses many of her works in the museum collection.
The Weeden House was built in 1819 and was the home of
several distinguished early Huntsvillians. Dr. William Weeden bought
the residence for his family in 1845.
Except for the Civil War years when it was requisitioned
for the use of Federal Officers, the home was occupied by Weeden's
descendants until it was sold in 1956.
The Weeden House Museum is now owned by the city of Huntsville
and is leased by the Twickenham Historic Preservation District Association
and maintained as a 19th Century house museum.
The museum is open from 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Monday through Friday and is available for weddings, receptions and
parties.
