| Description | Home of the McDonnell family in the early 19th century and probably earlier as local sources suggest General James McDonnell, who fought in the 1798 Rebellion, was born there. In 1844 described by Samuel Nicholson as "neat and comfortable, prettily situated upon the lake and ornamented by thriving plantations". It was purchased by the Hughes family in the 1940s and is still in their possession. |
