An early 19th-century antebellum mansion set in 26 acres of manicured gardens, Monmouth Historic Inn & Gardens is a National Historic Landmark. Reflecting all that is charming about the South, expect gracious hospitality, excellent cuisine, historic tours of the house and a lovingly restored garden. With an ambiance reminiscent of a bygone age, the rooms and suites are as picture-perfect. Available either in the Monmouth Historic Inn & Gardens main house or in any of the eight outbuildings, they have period furnishings and antebellum-era antiques. Some also boast additional amenities like a Jacuzzi and a fireplace. Wander around the meticulously nurtured gardens amidst blooming magnolias, roses, azaleas and Monmouth’s signature collection of angel statuary, accompanied by the gentle humming of cicadas. Then, enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres in the Quitman Study followed by dinner in the parlor on a table dressed in fine linens, gleaming silver, sparkling crystal and timelessly elegant china.
