Milisen House

The Fonda House, birthplace of actor Henry Fonda (1905-1982), was built in 1884 in Grand Island. In 1904 the house was rented by Henry's father, William Brace Fonda, and his wife, Herberta Jayne. Henry Fonda was born in the house on May 16, 1905. In 1966, Fonda arranged to have the house moved to Stuhr Museum and restored. The green, one-story frame home includes a parlor, dining room, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. The house is furnished as it might have been when the Fonda family lived there.
