Newstead House recently reopened to the public following a $6.65 million renovation, which restored the historic house to original late-1800s glory.

The three-year restoration presents period decoration, furnishings and other elements to reflect when local businessman George Harris and his family were in residence from 1862 to 1889. Newstead House grew to its current size in this period.
