Victorian Parlor Room

The Kingsland Victorian Room has been modeled to appear as it would have in the year 1870. This year was chosen since it represents a transitional period for the Murray family. At this point, it was already several years since the death of the youngest son Edward, who died during the Civil War. The second oldest son William had just married Annie Cornelia Mitchell in 1868 and moved into Kingsland with his young fam- ily. It was also two years before the death of the family matri- arch, Mary Ann King. At this point the house would have been home to ten people, including two young couples and their children.
