It is the oldest frame house in New Albany, Indiana, owned and maintained by the Piankeshaw Chapter of the NSDAR. On the first Sunday in December, please join us for our Christmas Open House and Victorian tea. The house is open at other times by appointment. In 1916, it was suggested that Piankeshaw Chapter buy the Scribner home from Miss Hattie Scribner to use as a chapter house. This property, the first frame house in New Albany, was built by Joel Scribner, one of the three brothers who founded the city. The chapter purchased the property in 1917 at a price of $1,500. On Flag Day 1928, the mortgage was burned. The Piankeshaw Chapter is devoted to the preservation of this important part of our local history.
