The Addison Historical Museum is housed in the historic 1892 Balzer House which was originally located on East Lake Street. Built in 1893 as a teachers' home for the Lutheran School, the Century House was purchased by the Village of Addison in 1993 and hence, got its distinctive name. The Addison Historical Society researched and restored the home to the late 19th to early 20th Century period through the generous donations of the Addison community. Visitors to the museum can experience first hand what it was like to live in Addison at this time.
