Guest Review

Monmouth was more wonderful than we could have ever imagined! The staff were so friendly, the grounds breathtaking and the room so inviting. We could not have asked for a more perfect stay and will plan to visit again in the future.

Summer Solstice




The date is June 21. Summer is a state of mind. My summer begins when the temperature goes up and the Tomatoes, Squash and Eggplant are ready to come off the vine. Sure it gets hot but it brings back memories of swimming in the creek, making ice cream and chasing the fireflies. Monmouth Plantation will take you back to those simple pleasures! Today you can go to the day spa across the street instead of the creek and have a gourmet dessert while watching the fireflies in the garden. Give us a ring and find your summer at Monmouth. We have great rates and wonderful packages. My favorite is the Historic Package Dinner for two at the Chef’s table, two three house tickets and two carriage tickets. All for 585.00 We are looking forward to hearing from you!

Letters from the past



Below is a note written by John Quitman describing produce and flowers in bloom. At Monmouth the azaleas are beginning to bloom and soon the grounds will be bursting with the colors of spring.




…On the table we had green peas, lettuce, radishes, artichokes, new potatoes, and spinach, grown in the open air, and roses, jessamines, jonquils, and pinks in profusion. What a delightful climate! The peach and plum are in full bloom, and the birds sing merrily in the honeysuckles around my bedchamber.


-John Anthony Quitman, 1822
