The Gibson Mansion (also known as the Yolo County Historical Museum and the Gibson Museum) is a historic mansion that now serves as a museum in Woodland, California. Exemplifying several architectural styles, including Georgian Revival and Neoclassical, it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CALIFORNIA - Yolo County )〕 ==History== William Byas Gibson moved from Virginia to Yolo County (at this point, just outside of Woodland) in 1850 and began to farm and raise livestock. In 1857, he purchased of land south of Woodland with a small home on the property, which would later be the center of his estate. As his family grew and as their wealth increased they enlarged the house several times in the 1870s, remodeling it into a mansion.〔 Gibson died in 1901 and the home was occupied by his family until 1963.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Gibson Home )〕 Between 1963 and 1975 the home and the acreage it is on was uncared for and dilapidated, and some labeled it a haunted house during this vacancy.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of the Museum )〕 In 1975 efforts to purchase the house and the it resides on were directed by the Yolo County Historical Society to establish the first countywide historical museum. Yolo County Historical Museum Association was formed and their Board of Directors now operates the museum, which is open to the public on weekends.〔
