Visit historic
Sappington House

The Sappington House is hosting some unique events in December, so we thought you might like to know about them to share with those like-minded historically. There are three VERY special events which you particularly might be interested in ~ Give and Glow (with luminaries, we light up 1-1/2 miles of Grant’s Trail in honor of our military) on December 6th, Silhouette Portraits Dec. 12 and a Day Trip to Apple Creek Churches Dec.18. Whether it’s the first time or not, we look forward to welcoming you to our historic and naturally beautiful complex!
