Although it might be stretch, the Owens home in New Harmony, IN. He was a significant naturalist of the 19th century; enough to attract folks like Prince Maximilian of Wied and Karl Bodmer, and Alfred Jacob Miller.

Also, the John Deere home in west central IL.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Scientist's historic homes

Hi All--

For a project, I'm looking for historic homes that were the homes of scientists--inventors, naturalists, engineers, or other kind of science.   My Google search has only turned up a few (but interestingly, quite a number in countries in the former Soviet Union) and I'm sure there are more.

Thanks for any suggestions the collective wisdom of the list may have.

And as always, don't forget to check out my blogs:  The Uncataloged Museum<http://uncatalogedmuseum.blogspot.com> and now also, The Pickle Project.<http://pickleproject.blogspot.com>

Linda
