    Ernest Warther Museum & Gardens  |  2:00pm

    331 Karl Avenue Dover, Ohio 44622

    Guided Tour of the museum and grounds beings at 2:00pm.

    Ernest Warther would hand-sculpt over sixty works focusing around the steam-engine over span of 82 years. The result earned him the title of the World’s Master Carver. The Ernest Warther Museum and Gardens is built around the original location of Ernest and his wife's home, his original workshop, and the first museum which opened on May 10th, 1936 in their backyard. Today, the Ernest Warther Museum is owned and operated by third and fourth generation family members whose mission is to share, educate, and delight visitors with the works compiled and created by both Ernest and Frieda Warther.

    Reeves Museum  |  4:00pm

    325 East Iron Avenue Dover, Ohio 44622

    Independently drive to the Reeves Museum for self-guided tour. Followed by a wine tasting. 

    This 19th century opulent mansion is the former residence of prominent Dover industrialist, Jeremiah E. Reeves and is owned and operated by the Dover Historical Society.

    The 17 room Victorian home, topped by a third floor ballroom, has been carefully restored by the Society to its original turn-of-the-century splendor and features the unique treasures of the original furniture and antiques that were the property of Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah E. Reeves, arranged as they would have been 100 years ago.

    Wine Tasting in the Reeves Museum Carriage House

    Following the self-guided tour, enjoy a wine tasting from Han's Place Winery, a local wine producer in the Sugar Creek area of Tuscarawas with light snacks at the Carriage House Museum, located behind the Reeves home. It keeps its original purpose by housing an interesting collection of vehicles including the family's original 1892 carriage, along with the family sleigh, a rare 1922 electric car, and a restored doctor's buggy. The upstairs of the Carriage House features an exhibit celebrating Dover's years as a canal town as well as the town's rich history.
