    Chinqua Penn Plantation image
    I have not been to this place in many years. It is such a shame t has fallen on such disrepair. When he Penn's owned the property, Mr. Penn bought, disassembled and rebuilt a windmill from Holland. The Penn's hired my Grandfather to do some work on the windmill. I understand the Penn's held parties inside the windmill. The windmill burned down but the footprint and fireplace were still there. When I was a child, my Dad drove us to the plantation. The caretaker, a Mr. Talley knew my Grandfather. The Penn's were travelling overseas and Mr. Talley let us come through the gates and let us go all over the grounds. It was magical. When I visited years later, there was disrepair and the windmill area is in the pasture area of the farm, but it was still beautiful. I am so sad that this place is no longer an attraction. Year 1980's See more..

    It took me both in car & on foot to find this place due to the wrong address provided. So once you get on Gimghoul Rd, take it straight back. It will lead to a dirt driveway. This road leads you to the castle. You can easily drive around the dirt loop, or stop & get out to take pictures. It is private property, so you can only take pictures from the driveway. It is definitely mysterious, but absolutely gorgeous & storytelling. See more..

    Castle Mont Rouge image
    Located way off the highway on a very rough road. The castle is surrounded with fencing so you can not get very close to it. Apparently vandals have damaged it in the past. The construction looks sound and is impressive Wish we could have seen the inside. See more..
