PROSPECT PLACE ESTATE, THE G.W. ADAMS EDUCATIONAL CENTER

Overview

To be certain Prospect Place mansion is one of the most haunted homes in Ohio. With 150 years of paranormal history including sightings and strange activity this Dickensian mansion stands forebodingly in the rural Ohio countryside. We offer a complete paranormal experience for those willing - spend the night and expect to be surprised by the more permanent residents (some of whom have been here for a very long time).

History

"Prospect Place" was the home of the George Willison Adams family of Dresden, Ohio, in the 19th & 20th centuries. G. W. Adams was an Abolitionist and Underground Railroad conductor. Prospect Place was a station on the Underground Railroad from 1856 until 1865. This structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is currently in the process of being restored. Although a few fine homes remain in Dresden from this era, Prospect Place is the last remaining Dresden area mansion (There were five: Prospect Place; River Dale; Mulberry Grove; Maple Hollow and Elm Grove), the others have met the fate of time and neglect and are no more. These were the homes of the "Lords of the Valley", men of great influence and wealth who helped tame a new land and create a community. We are restoring this home as a memorial to times gone by and to give the Dresden area back a piece of an ever-vanishing history.
