May-Stringer House

The May-Stringer House, home of the Hernando Heritage Museum, is a historic residential building in Brooksville, Florida, United States. It is located at 601 Museum Court. On March 8, 1997, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Overlooking the City of Brooksville, the house is a four-story, seven-gable, gingerbread-trim, fourteen-room painted-lady–style Victorian-era home. The Hernando Historical Museum Association has created exhibit rooms with a Victorian look, and there are rooms devoted to specific themes such as an elegant dining room, bedrooms, military room, an 1880s doctor's office, and a 1900s communication room. The museum contains over 10,000 artifacts that can be viewed.
