Horton House

A really neat sight to see when visiting. There are great paths close to this home that can be explored after the home ruins. We visited during the Orb treasure hunt and unfortunately did not find an orb, but it was a really nice walk and sight seeing adventure.

Being able to see this ruin of what once was is amazing in itself. But being able to walk inside the remnants of the home was even better. It was fun to imagine what the home would have been like inside the structure as we walked from one side to the other. I love that they are able to preserve this history, and I hope they continue to do so for many years to come. There is a trail to walk that would lead to the Horton House Pond. Unfortunately we did not take the journey to the pond. Make sure you cross the street to see the cemetery as well!

Beautiful quiet place!!! We went on a Saturday evening nobody was there but us ! I feel like this is a must see ! There are beautiful bike trails and walking trails across the street . Also don’t forget to walk over there and look at the graves etc . The pond was closed but still a cool little place to see and also it’s free . Overall it’s just stunningly beautiful and cool !

This neat little historic spot can be explored by pulling into its parking lot off the side of the road. It’s a few minutes’ detour, where you can explore the inside of the ruins, as well as read a few different plaques set up to explained the location’s historical significance. Its nearby to a bike path and walking trail, making a great stop if you’re exploring the island!

What a fun little side trip! Be sure to take the path down to the pond. Totally worth it.

If you enjoy history you will like this area.

Beautiful area and very historical. Worth the visit/stay
