About Us

The old rail fence, the pasture green The Colonial Mansion plainly seen it’s paradise where e’er I look, the woods - the pasture and the brook. ~ M. Sayers, 1942

Built in 1852 on 23 pastoral acres and known originally as The Farmer’s Hotel, the Mansouri Mansion Hotel was the first stage coach stop along the Old Indian Trail.
