Visitors & Their Adventures




Many visitors come
to go out on the boats,
to eat crabs and oysters,
to tour the old places in town
and hear stories of bygone days, or to take day trips to little old Methodist camp meetings,
and big old cities and new!

Click the following link to view a few of the many visitors and the wonderful adventures they have while staying at my house!

The House that William Ruth Built

This town and his trading business was well established when William Ruth, a local merchant and trustee of the first free school, built his big brick "mansion house." Originally eight rooms, additions in 1837, 1850 & 1910 brought the grand total to 22 or 23 depending on how you count the rooms, the landings the baths, etc. This home now houses a small internet cafe' with a small business co-op, the Leipsic River Watershed Association, and four guest rooms.

We now call the old girl "The Leipsic Mansion House."
