Wonderful to see at Christmas time

Christmas trees in every room. My spouse had been wanting to see this historic home for years. We finally made the time and it was well worth it. What an amazing story about a very impressive man! And what a gorgeous house!

Beautifully decorated for Christmas

The volunteers are so friendly and informative dressed in period costumes for the Christmas season. The Christmas decorations make the Dodge House magical at Christmas. Love the period furniture and the Victorian style house. Must See.

Christmas Wonderland

Different Christmas tree in each room. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. Must see. $7 for people under 62 years of age. Watch the 20 minute video first in the house next door.

Capture the history of Council Bluffs

The city's history is tied to the railroad and westward expansion. General Dodge was a key player and a tour of his mansion is very educational. Not ideal for anyone with a disability due to stairs however.
