A visit to the Hanby House is a look into our nation’s past. Bishop William Hanby was an abolitionist and a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad. His son, Benjamin, was the composer of more than 80 folk songs and hymns including “ Darling Nelly Grey”, a popular song of the Civil War era, and “Up on the Housetop”, still sung by children worldwide. The Hanby House contains five rooms of original antiques from the mid-to-late 1800’s, including some of Ben’s original instruments, musical scores and artifacts. The Westerville Garden Club maintains the Kitchen Gardens featuring plants that were used for household purposes between 1850 and 1890. You can enjoy refreshments, historic decorations and special music during the Christmas Open House on the first Tuesday in December, as well as the following weekend. Hanby House is one of the three United Methodist Heritage Landmarks in Ohio.
