John Sherman Birthplace

The John Sherman Birthplace is a historic house museum at 137 East Main Street in Lancaster, Ohio.

The main entrance is in the rightmost bay, with flanking pilasters rising to a corniced entablature set above a half-round transom.

[3] The rear frame section of the house was built in 1811, and enlarged by 1816 by Judge Charles Sherman.

General William Tecumseh Sherman achieved great fame during the American Civil War, and it is Victorian-era furnishings that now dominate the interior.

[3] The brick main section of the house was built in 1870, after the period of Sherman ownership.
