What is now the Hernando Heritage Museum, a rustic residential building in Brooksville, Florida, was once a simple 4-room home.

Built by John L. May in 1855, the home originally consisted of a parlor, a dining room, and 2 bedrooms.

After John May died, his widow, Marena stayed in the home with their children, re-marrying about ten years later, then unfortunately passed away herself.

The home was sold to Dr. Sheldon Stringer who built on ten more rooms to run his medical practice out of his home.

With death, suicide, murder, and heartbreak, the home holds not only morose energy but also spirits.
