There was a historical marker and it is open 10am..We were a little early so I walked around and took some wonderful photos. Built in the 1800's..Gorgeous home!!! History: In 1847, Andrew Jackson Caldwell laid out the foundation for his new family home. With a desire for distinction, his home would not be a simple structure with four walls like so many others, but an eight sided edifice unique to the region. Completed in 1859, it would soon become a landmark in the south-central Kentucky area. Built for his growing family and as a headquarters for the plantation, it was occupied by the Caldwell family even after Andrew's death in 1866. His widow, Harriet, lived in the Octagon Hall until selling the house in 1918 to Doctor Miles Williams, an osteopath from Nashville, Tennessee. Dr. Williams moved from Nashville and made the Octagon Hall his residence until his death in 1954. At that time, the Octagon Hall was made rental property by his heirs. The Octagon Hall remained rental property until The Octagon Hall Foundation was formed and obtained the building in 2001. Dedicated to the restoration and preservation of the only eight-sided house in Kentucky, The Octagon Hall Foundation is furthering the efforts to save the past for the future

There seems to be an enormous amount of paranormal activity. Her stories were very interesting. While I didn't experience anything, I was quite uneasy on the second floor and didn't stay there very long. I desnded the stairs to the basement, took a quick look and retreated. There's a kitchen on the grounds and two cemeteries, one of which was for the slaves. I highly recommend a tour of the Octagon ($10.00) and taking the time to chat with Brth.

I have a 3 and 5 year old and they both LOVED it. It's short, sweet, and just enough "wow" without being overwhelming. The cave itself is really cool, with some tighter crevices that made it feel a little adventurous (my kids thought that was the best part), but nothing too difficult or strenuous. If you're worried about that--don't be. It's super manageable and moves at a good pace. Price-wise, it felt totally worth it for a family stop. They've also got a little gift shop at the end which my kids obviously needed to check out lol. If you're passing through, just stop. It's a fun, easy memory to make and doesn't take up your whole day. Would 100% do it again.

It was so strange among all the large campus buildings. I was able to get one photo due to the one way road I was on, but I did find some on the internet to share. Here is the history I found from the internet This early nineteenth century log house built in Logan County, KY is a classic example of traditional Kentucky architecture. The dog-trot floor plan and poplar, oak, and walnut construction are typical of the architecture of the region. Reproduction furniture, equipment, tools and clothing inside the Felts House accurately represent an upper income South Central Kentucky family home of 1815 Originally built by Archibald Felts on land near the Gasper River, this log house had remained relatively unchanged over the years. Recognized as a fine example of regional craftsmanship, it was moved here in 1980. Important characteristics include the traditional V-notch and dogtrot construction and the unusual handmade moldings, paneling, and forged hardware. Erected by Donated by Mr. and Mrs. Sam Houston Watkins. Dogtrot Construction of the Cabin Dog Trot log cabins are essentially two log cabins separated by an area that is usually left open. The area in between the cabins/pens, is referred to as a Trot & was used as a breezeway in the Southern States. Dog Trot log cabins are generally oriented so that summer prevailing winds could be used for cooling.

The Historical Markers says its the home of Samuel Murrell in 1840's who used the home as a Stagecoach Inn between Louisville Ky and Nashville Tn..it was also the farm homesite of Susannah Henry Madison, Patrick Henry's sister..very fascinating stuff.. The home is brick and lovely. I actually pulled into the driveway to turn around, and no one was at home. The log house on the property is also on the National Register of Historical Places. Susannah Henry Madison lived in the log house. We stopped so I could take a few pictures. I would love to go inside but it is a private home now.
