Cooke-Dorn House Historic Site

"Fantastic tour with a very knowledgeable guide. I love historical sites and learned quite a bit here. Update: I'm at the Art Institute in Chicago now. A “fire screen” is on display. Now I know exactly what that was used for, thanks to the guide there in Sandusky!"

"It was a fantastic tour! The house has a rich history and it was so fun learning about Mrs. Dorn! The guide was terrific."

"Fabulous historic home, originally built by the first lawyer of Sandusky, Eleutheros Cooke and last owned by the Dorns, we had a guided tour by docent 'Ed' who has done 1400 hours of research about the home, and also knew the last owner for 25 years. I had been there before, but the details of the home and its history were really illuminated by this docent who is very passionate about the history of the home. We thoroughly enjoyed not only the beauty of the home, but the detailed history explained by Ed. Covid protocol was adhered to, and we were the only ones visiting. It's well worth the visit."

"Everyone visiting Sandusky should go through this historic site. A guided tour is interesting with all the original antiques and history."

"This is a wonderfully preserved piece of Sandusky Ohio history & architecture. Our guide, Linda S., was well informed with fun historical facts. We enjoyed every moment!"
