Antebellum plantations, with their elegant architecture and spacious grounds, often find new life as inns and event venues. Richwood Plantation, located in the Trimble County town of Milton, once encompassed some 2,000 acres along the Ohio River. Today, Richwood Plantation Inn is a bed and breakfast and an event venue on 117 acres, offering Southern hospitality in the elegantly restored main house and cottages on the grounds. Built in 1803, the property features barns original to its plantation days. History buffs will appreciate knowing that President William McKinley once stayed here. The property was also home to the Richwood Plantation Riding School for Young Women. And fans of classic TV would be amused to know that TV's talking horse, Mr. Ed, spent time here with his owner. With its comfortable decor and beautiful landscaping, Richwood Plantation Inn is a popular site for weddings and family reunions. Richwood caters to all types of events, including business conferences.
