History

The Mansion House was built in 1796 by Walter Newman as a tavern. It was the first hewn log house in the Kanawha Valley and was made entirely by hand. Later it was enlarged, and in 1901 the Daughters of the American Revolution, aided by patriotic citizens of Mason County, had it restored to its original style. It has Colonial and Early American furnishings and serves as a repository for relics. The Colonel Charles Lewis Chapter, N.S.D.A.R., are its custodians and use it as a chapter house.
