Honey Creek Room at The Willis-James

This charming room with queen bed, private bath, TV, spacious closet and cozy reading chair embraces the natural aspects of old Honey Creek through its decor, and hints to the early native cultures who likely wandered its banks. In 1815 when this room was added onto the main house, one could gaze out the south facing window and see Honey Creek winding across the property near the old stables. This quaint stream flowed across much of the western end of Chillicothe, and in 1919 Honey Creek was converted into a subterranean waterway that still flows beneath many streets, homes and businesses throughout the historic district. A copy of an early 1800s map showing the path of Honey Creek adorns the wall in this room. Accessibility This room is on the second floor and is only accessible by stairs. There is no elevator access.
