NOBLE HOUSE TODAY

Alexander Noble House
"Turn Back the Veil"
Since 1875, this impressive Greek revival farmhouse has stood at Fish Creek’s busiest crossroads, home to three generations of the Noble family. Step inside and you’ll be taken back to the late 1800s, where you can explore Victorian mourning traditions, see authentic period clothing, and discover fascinating relics. Recognized as both a National and State Historic Place, the museum is filled with treasures that make history feel real. Each visit offers something new and helps you connect with the stories that shaped our community.
The silent and grim reaper, Death has again invaded our ranks, and another of the craft has been summoned to that shore from whose bourne no traveler ever returns."
This moving line comes from Alexander Noble's eulogy, discovered during the restoration of the Alexander Noble House in the late 1980s. Our fascination with Victorian funerals, especially those honoring important people from our town’s past, has led the Gibraltar Historical Association to plan a special exhibit for 2026 called "Turn Back the Veil."
