Glencoe Museum
Glencoe Museum is located in a Victorian house in west downtown Radford, Virginia. The house was built in the 1870s in the 19th-century Victorian style, specifically Second Empire, and was the home of Confederate Brigadier General Gabriel C. Wharton. It is a large, two-story, five-bay, brick dwelling, and originally had quite extensive grounds. The original house had a barn, chicken coop, smoke house, and an ice house.
The name Glencoe is thought to be inspired by Anne Wharton's ancestry. Her family was originally from Scotland.
