Leigh's House of Yesteryear is a historic house museum located in Leigh, Nebraska. The house was built in 1902 by John and Emma Brehm and was donated to the Leigh Historical Society in 1989. The museum provides visitors with a glimpse into the daily life of a typical family in rural Nebraska during the early 20th century.

The house is a two-story, wood-framed structure with a gabled roof and a front porch. The interior of the house is decorated with antique furniture, clothing, and household items, many of which belonged to the Brehm family. Visitors can explore the living room, dining room, kitchen, and bedrooms, and learn about the family's daily routines and traditions.

One of the highlights of the museum is the display of vintage clothing, including dresses, hats, and shoes from the early 1900s. Visitors can also view a collection of antique toys, tools, and farming equipment, as well as photographs and documents that tell the story of the Brehm family and the history of Leigh.

Leigh's House of Yesteryear is open to the public from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and by appointment throughout the year. Guided tours are available, and the museum also hosts special events and educational programs for children and adults.
