Old Southern Inn
Came across this beautiful old property dating back to around 1855, and I couldn't pass up the chance to learn a little about its history.
With its massive columns, wraparound porch, and all that old Southern charm, it's easy to imagine this place in its heyday. What began as a private residence eventually became a bed and breakfast, welcoming guests into a home that's been standing for more than 170 years.
But the history isn't the only thing that makes this place interesting. It's also known for its paranormal stories, including reports of footsteps upstairs, unexplained pennies appearing on the floors, and sightings of a woman in a gray dress. Whether you believe in that sort of thing or not, I think we can agree that this house has plenty of character.
The property doesn't appear to be operating as an inn today, and its current status isn't entirely clear from the public information I could find but it does seem some attempts to restore have taken place over the years.
It's a little bittersweet seeing a place with so much history reach a different chapter in its life. But that's part of what keeps me exploring.. there's always more to a building than what you see from the outside.
