About Sarah Winchester
- Sarah Lockwood Winchester (née Pardee; 1839 – September 5, 1922) was an American heiress who amassed great wealth after the death of her husband, William Wirt Winchester.
- Her inheritance from his estate included $20 million (equivalent to $519,241,379 in 2018) as well as a 50% holding in the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, which made her one of the wealthiest women in the world at the time.
- She is best known for using her vast fortune to continue construction on the Winchester mansion in San Jose, California, for 20 years.
- Popular legends, which began during her lifetime, held that she was convinced she was cursed, and the only way to alleviate it was to add on to her California home.
