Chrysler Boyhood Home and Museum
In 1878, when Walter P. Chrysler was 3 years old, his family moved from Wamego, Kansas to Ellis. His childhood years included milking cows and selling the milk door to door. As he grew up, he became interested in machines. This began his journey in life as an apprentice, and then eventually on to establishing the Chrysler Corporation in 1925. The Chrysler family moved into the current day Walter P. Chrysler Boyhood Home in 1889, and lived there until 1908. Numerous families owned the home up until 1952. Joe Herbert, the Dodge/Plymouth dealer in Ellis, bought the home to keep it from deteriorating. In 1954, the home was purchase by the Chrysler Corporation and officially opened as a museum. The home was deeded to the City of Ellis in 1955 by Jack Chrysler, Walter’s son, and Chrysler management. A new building was erected behind the home in 1994 to display personal items of Walter P. Chrysler.
