About the Museum: Unique to this house is the central spiral staircase, where you can explore 5 different floors, and climb your way up sixty-two steps to the cupola where you can view all of the Camillus scenery. Many of the home's features are intriguingly octagonal, built to unique specifications, and materials used to construct the building have been harvested from the farm itself. Restored rooms on 3 floors and a Gallery of displays on the second level will share an insight into how the original owners lived during those times of days gone by. The Wilcox Octagon Museum is on the National Registry of Historical Places
