The Patten Everett House dates back to one of the earliest homes of Montgomery County, Kentucky. The original house was built circa 1811 by Nathaniel Patten. He and his wife, Nancy, constructed the brick home and a ropewalk on the property. The ropewalk was the building Mr. Patten used for turning hemp into rope. In 1822, the home was purchased by prominent businessman, Samuel Everett, and his wife, Henrietta. They enlarged the home to raise their 11 children. One of their children, dashing young 22-year-old Peter, joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of Captain. On December 1, 1863, Captain Peter Everett and his men set fire to the Montgomery County Court House where Union soldiers were hiding to shoot at the Confederates.
The Patten Everett House is listed on the Historic Register of Montgomery County, The Kentucky Heritage Commission, and is located in the National Historic District of Mount Sterling. It boasts high ceilings, an open stair case, original wood floors, and six fireplaces.
The House offers two guest suites, each with a bedroom, sitting rooom, and a private bath. Outside, guests will find a private fenced courtyard, gazebo, swing, and fire bowl.
