Hugh Torance House and Store

What it is

About two miles west of downtown, the site tells the story of Hugh Torance, his family and the store through docent-led tours, and frames history as more than one story.

It also runs community programs and occasional ticketed evening events; the schedule is published by the site.

Before you go

• Visits are guided—check the event schedule rather than dropping in.

Planning your visit

Visitor access here is limited—by guided tours, scheduled programs or closure. Do not plan this as a casual drop-in stop. Follow the operator’s schedule and book where required.

We have not independently verified accessibility features such as step-free routes, accessible restrooms or parking unless they are listed under confirmed features. Contact the operator for specifics before your visit.
