Historic Home Tours
Though many original homes have been replaced since Pontiac’s founding in 1837, several beautifully restored 19th-century homes remain open to the public, thanks to the Livingston County Historical Society.
The Jones House (1857)
The Jones House is the oldest remaining brick home in the city. The home has recently been restored and is open to the public by appointment or on special occasions.
The Strevell House
Among the many connections Pontiac has to Abraham Lincoln, one of the most interesting revolves around Lincoln’s friendship with local attorney Jason W. Strevell.
The Yost House (1898)
The Yost House was built in 1898 and was home to the same family for nearly 100 years. The house is remarkable for its nearly unchanged interior decorations.
