About the event

Free Family Sunday - The Havilah Beardsley House
On September 7th, 2025, the Havilah Beardsley House will be open to the public for no admission from 1-4 pm! Now's the time to come check out one of our iconic, historic Elkhart homes for absolutely free. The Havilah Beardsley House is the oldest brick home in Elkhart, built by Elkhart's founder in 1848, and has been restored to the style of the 1870s, when his son James Rufus Beardsley renovated it into a grandiose Italian style.

This is also a great chance to see a special exhibit from the Indiana Historical Society: "Be Heard: Latino Experiences in Indiana"!
"Be Heard" offers a glimpse into the stories of individuals of varying cultural backgrounds who recall what it has been like to be Latino in the Hoosier State throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The stories reflect on the Latinosโ€™ cultures as well as on their contributions to local communities or to the State of Indiana. This exhibit is sponsored by Steve & Julie Bachman.

When one site is open for Free Family Sunday, the other is closed. The Ruthmere Mansion will be closed on 9/7/25.

Free Family Sundays are made possible through a generous grant from the Community Foundation of Elkhart County.
