The Historic Main House The original section of the main house with it’s two-story Charleston front porch was built in 1812. A total of 18 rooms are in the main house. The entire first floor is open for your guests as well as the 2nd floor dressing areas and restrooms. When ceremonies are held on the shady side lawn under the giant oak trees, the wedding party walks out the front door and down the brick pathway and then across the green lawn toward the arbor. Parking is adjacent to the front columns. The brick walkways are handicap and stroller accessible.	Welcome to the 1812 Hitching Post!
The Reception Area On the back side of the main house is the primary reception area. Our 11oo square foot reception tent and adjoining patio area are the perfect setting for your outdoor reception. The patio area is surrounded with twinkle lights and tiki torches. There is a fire pit on the south side of the courtyard and a fountain to the north. Your guests will be enchanted! The dance floor is in the center of the reception tent. The tent is a great rain option; 115 people can be seated underneath for a ceremony, if needed.
The Willow Cottage Behind the reception area is located the Willow Cottage which is often used for the groomsmen to dress if you have more than a few guys in the wedding party. Sometimes, the girls rent it out the night before the wedding. The Willow Cottage is complete with two bedrooms, a cute kitchen, a wrap-around deck with covered porch in the back, restroom with a unique shower, WII, WiFi, Direct TV, and high definition TV. The Willow Cottage is available for overnight stays.	Groomsmen walking from Willow Cottage
The Lake There are 26 acres of open fields and woods, and a five acre pond for us to utilize for you as you desire for your wedding experience. The most peaceful area of the property is the lake area. It’s a great spot for an elopement, small wedding, or engagement photos. Couples often choose to have photos taken after their wedding by the lake.	1812 Hitching Post Lake
