Built in 1832 for Isaac Covington and his family, this gable-fronted, Federal-style house was saved from demolition in 1981 and now swerves as a Town museum of local history. While many of the original features of this structure were changed in the late 19th century, the magnificent front doorway with its butterfly modillions, sunbursts and fluted-edge columns remain noteworthy. In addition, the original interior wood graining has been carefully restored. The main block of the house is furnished with period pieces as a house museum while the west wing gallery features exhibits and displays of local memorabilia. The Taylor House Museum is also very involved in the community. Peach Day in Berlin invites locals and tourists to purchase peaches, listen to music, and shop and dine at businesses along Main Street. Sunday Evenings at the Museum, held on the 2nd Sundays in June, July, August, and September, include such attractions as local musicians, speakers, films, and authors. In October, oral histories are collected and celebrated at Harvest Homecoming. December brings our Classical Christmas series with music, candlelight tours, and Wassail & Gingerbread events.
