The Fire
On Thursday Night, July 17th 2003, the Metlar-Bodine House Museum suffered a serious fire that destroyed a great deal of its collection and one-third of the building. Watch this video to see some of the damage. The remainder of the building and the collection were seriously damaged by smoke and water. Today the historic site is completely restored and a new accessible entrance with ADA compliant restrooms has been constructed. The building is now open to the public.
