Meet the Proprietor:

Theresa Siejack (SEE-jak)

While much has changed surrounding the old Kenton-Hunt Homestead since Virginia Hunt penned the small book "What Went On Around Here," very few changes were made to the original structure or detail of the house. [We've reprinted her 1958 booklet about her family's history here on this land.]

In 2005, the property was purchased by Theresa Siejack. She had a vision and felt love-at-first-sight for this historical property and it's beautiful land.

Although no additions were made to the outside or structure of the house, the entire infrastructure was rebuilt including new plumbing (five bathrooms), new electric, new windows, plaster and paint, and all the original ash wood floors refinished. Theresa and various contractors worked 7 days a week for 5 months to restore this grand home.

"In September of 2005 we opened the famous property as the Simon Kenton Inn, says Theresa.

"We believe that Simon and Virginia would be pleased. And, we sincerely hope that we've preserved a piece of American History to be enjoyed and admired for many generations to come."
