About Turner-Dodge House & Heritage Center

The Turner-Dodge mansion is a National Historic Registered Place that was built in 1858 by James and Marion Turner, who helped establish the city of Lansing. The home was recently restored to reflect the style of the 19th century and is now maintained by the City of Lansing Parks and Recreation Department as a Cultural Heritage Center.
