The Heritage Cultural Center also presents the Heritage Fair on the last Saturday in May at the Pavilion located in Nichols Park. This festival features traditional artists and musicians. It served as the official Governor's Mansion during his term of office, 1834-38, and is the only structure left in the state that served in that capacity outside Springfield. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, has been fully restored, and houses many of the original Duncan family furnishings. Guided tours are available during regular hours.
Group tours are welcome.
