Indiana: Culbertson Mansion

 

William Culbertson, born in 1814 in Pennsylvania, moved to Indiana at 21 to make his fortune. And make a fortune, he did. Culbertson became one of the richest men in Indiana, and his mansion in New Albany exemplifies his opulent lifestyle and the tastes and ideals of the late 1800s. Having worked his way up from dry goods clerk to investor, Culbertson put much of his money into New Albany and was deeply devoted to civic affairs. The State of Indiana took ownership of the mansion in 1976, restoring it to its former greatness.
