The Hillforest mansion was built in 1855 by Thomas Gaff, a businessman who moved to Aurora from Scotland. The house is of Italian Renaissance architecture and is designed to be reminiscent of the steamboats that once called the Ohio River Home. Today, the mansion is a tourist attraction and visitors can take guided tours of the house and grounds.
