Benjamin Hanby left Westerville a rich tradition in music. The Hanby House is Ohio's first memorial to a composer. Hanby wrote more than 80 folk songs and hymns, including "Darling Nelly Grey," a popular song of the Civil War, and "Up on the Housetop," still sung by children world-wide. The Hanby House contains five rooms of original antiques from the Civil War era, including some of Ben's original instruments, musical scores and artifacts. The Hanby House was also a stop on the Underground Railroad.
