Great small town pumpkin patch! Not huge but everything you need when visiting pumpkin patch. Good places for pictures and places for kids to play. Some animals and food to purchase as well.
2. White Hall State Historic Site
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 94 reviews
White Hall State Historic Site was the home of Cassius Marcellus Clay, 19th century emancipationist, politician, newspaper publisher, Ambassador to Russia, and friend to Abraham Lincoln. The restored Italianate mansion was built in 1798 and remodeled in the 1860s. General Green Clay built the original brick Georgian-style home called Clermont. Cassius M. Clay inherited the house upon his father’s passing. He and his wife Mary Jane Warfield Clay built the new addition that more than doubled the size of the house and added such modern amenities as indoor plumbing and central heating.

7 of us high school friends went for tea and a Christmas tour. The food was very good, the servers were friendly. Our host was very knowledgeable about the home and the people that lived there. You can take pictures but they ask that you dont use flash. In one picture taken by our group she caught an orb. When you zoom in you can clearly see a face. We plan on going back in warmer weather to see Whitehall in the sunlight.

We started at the visitors center and I'm glad we did. The laser lit topo map was more useful than any I have seen at other Civil War sites. The host was extremely helpful and kind.

Excellent piece of American frontier history. Yau can tour at your own pace. Blacksmith was operating with good examples of the craftsmanship and explanation of what was necessary to survive here in the day.
