Magnolia Area Historical Society

Visit the 1906 Caresha Museum at 125 W. Carrollton St. in Magnolia for a taste of life in a quaint Canal Town. It includes the Sandy & Beaver Canal, the Confectionary, Native American artifacts, telephone history, and currently, Magnolia Art and Artists.

The 1800s Kemp Blacksmith Shop nearby is a step back in time, featuring five generations of Kemp blacksmiths.

A Walking Tour brochure is available to stroll by other historic sites. Eat at the Nest Café & Ice Cream Parlor in the Isaac Miller Inn, restored by the Historical Society. To tour Magnolia Flouring Mills, contact Stark Parks.
