Dover is home to some beautiful architecture with numerous examples of Victorian Era, Greek Revival, and Federal style homes. Some of the local attractions include the J.E. Reeves Victorian Home & Carriage House Museum, the Norma Johnson Conservation & Nature Center, and the Warther Carvings & Gardens.
The J.E. Reeves Victorian Home and Carriage House Museum in Dover dates to the 19th Century. The property originally belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah E. Reeves and some of their original furnishings are still on display in the house. The restored 17 room Victorian home features a typical third story ballroom.
Behind the house is the Carriage house museum with an antique horse-drawn carriage, sleighs, and other artifacts.
The Warther Carving Museum in Dover is a must see for every person who fancies themselves a woodworker. Here visitors will see some of the finest woodcarvings in North America. Also on site is a gift shop, a kitchen knife factory, and also a collection of buttons and arrowheads. A trip to the Warther Carving Museum can be combined with a larger tour of the surrounding Amish communities.
