Holly Rood

Holly Rood The home of Governor James Clark is ready for holidays, parties and special events. Check our site- hollyroodevents.com for ideas and info.

Holly Rood was completed in 1814 the same year as our National Anthem was written. The house was built extra strong as the devastating earthquake had recently shaken the south east. The bricks were fired on location using native clay. The woods in the house came from the surrounding area. Holly Rood is a lovely example of the classic Federal style House. Thw Winchester / Clark County Heritage Comm

ission oversees the care of the building. Used primarily as a rental property for weddings, parties, and dinners, the Commission envisions a more educational role in the future.

Holly Rood has been through a lot in 200 years. Soon we will have the opportunity to share her past with Cindy Banks current Leadership class! So what happened on this day in the past? The Battle of Fort Sumter which led to the Civil War or as we were taught to call it " The War Between The States". This war divided families, killed many of our men and left a country struggling to rebuild. Caroline Wheeler, owner of Holly Rood had family members on both sides of this conflict. Her battles were to keep the family together during times that forced them apart. Holly Rood - History Remembered Here.
