About Us

Wildwood Historic Center is an historical institution operated by the city of Nebraska City consisting of three buildings at 420 Steinhart Park Road. The 1869 Ware Family home is a ten-room Gothic-Revival house used as an interpretive museum to educate guests about day-to-day life in the Victorian era (1837-1901). Special exhibits are unveiled throughout the season while the decor and staff attire changes monthly to reflect a certain time of year, an important family event, or holiday celebration. A classroom is located behind the house and used for various events throughout the year.
