What makes the Hain House special is that it is a typical, 19th century single-family dwelling, built and owned by an average Boonville family. That and since its construction over 180 years ago, it has been owned by only one family, the Hains.
The Hain House stands as a symbol of the success of the American dream. The preservation and restoration of the Hain House provides all of us with a vital link to the past and challenges us to remember the determination and will that is such an important of our heritage.
