Ayr Mount is a striking, Federal-style plantation home built by merchant William Kirkland in 1815. The two-story brick home was home to four generations of Kirklands. The house showcases many artifacts, including original maps drawn by surveyor Peter Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson’s father. Visitors to the estate should allow themselves time to enjoy Poet’s Walk, a self-guided nature trail about one mile in length which encircles Ayr Mount and meanders past the Eno River.

A very nice walk by the Eno, good to get to know the area with the Occaneechi Village Replica site worth a stop.
