OPEN ME: We had an amazing first hand tour of Ellen G White Home with Elmshaven Manager, Pastor Abner Castañón.

Located at 125 Glass Mountain Lane, Elmshaven is a museum dedicated to preserving the history of the St. Helena community. From 1900 until her death in 1915, Ellen G. White lived at what is now known as the Ellen White House or Robert Pratt Place. She gained notoriety for her prophetic ministry, which played a key role in the beginning of the Sabbatarian Adventist movement that eventually gave rise to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and for her advocacy in support of the development of medical clinics. Currently in the care of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, this property has been recognized as a National Historic Landmark since 1993 and serves as an important part of the religion's history. 

North of downtown St. Helena, on the east side of Glass Mountain Lane, is where you'll find Elmshaven. The main house is a redwood-framed two-story construction with shiplap siding. With a square tower protruding from the rightmost front corner and a pyramidal roof, this building is a vernacular interpretation of Victorian design. The main entry is to the left of the projecting gable section of the main facade, under the protection of a porch with two-tiered ornate railings. Many of the interior fixtures and fittings date back to the building's inception or to Ellen White's tenure as owner. Besides the office, library, and storage vault, the property features a tank house housing the property's big water tank.

Once known as the Robert Pratt Place, Robert H. Pratt constructed this home in 1885. In 1900, Ellen White bought the house and gave it the name "Elmshaven" in honor of the grove of elm trees in the front yard. She passed away at that address in 1915. It is the longest-lasting and best-preserved of White's residences. In 1993, it was officially recognized as a National Historic Landmark. 

Elmshaven was almost destroyed by fires in the year 2020.
