White Hall State Historic Site was the home of Cassius Marcellus Clay, 19th century emancipationist, politician, newspaper publisher, Ambassador to Russia, and friend to Abraham Lincoln. The restored Italianate mansion was built in 1798 and remodeled in the 1860s. General Green Clay built the original brick Georgian-style home called Clermont. Cassius M. Clay inherited the house upon his father’s passing. He and his wife Mary Jane Warfield Clay built the new addition that more than doubled the size of the house and added such modern amenities as indoor plumbing and central heating.White Hall State Historic Site was the home of Cassius Marcellus Clay, 19th century emancipationist, politician, newspaper publisher, Ambassador to Russia, and friend to Abraham Lincoln.

One of the best attractions in the area. The "ghost walk" in October is one light no other. A lot of people to find this another "haunted house with blood and guts," buts its historical and definitely haunted. It is worth the money just to see it in the day time. If you are in the area, it should be on your must see list, because without Cassious Clay, there would be no Alaska and chances or no union as well.
