Harry Packer Mansion
A red-brick Second Empire mansion built by Asa Packer as a wedding gift for his son. It now serves as a boutique inn and a venue for murder-mystery dinners.
The mansion stands next to the Asa Packer Mansion and was completed in 1874. Its brick-and-stone walls feature a Mansard roof and ornate cast-iron decoration. It is said to be one of the inspirations for the look of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. It is now a boutique inn and is not normally open as a museum, though some days offer guided tours. Weekends often host 'murder mystery dinner' role-play events, which require advance booking. Ordinary visitors can take photos from outside the gate and see it together with the Asa Packer Mansion.
