Keillor House Museum

Step into the home of Yorkshire immigrant John Keillor, where the crackling hearth, blooming gardens, and many artifacts bring this luxurious 1813 manor back to life! See how Dorchester became the “Devil’s Half-Acre” of taverns and lawyer’s offices, frequented by shipbuilders, merchants, and tradesmen. Discover the secrets of this iconic stone Georgian manor with a personal guided tour or visit us during one of our many special events.
