The Elegance Of History Reborn
As Seen On The 765
We are honored that The 765 featured our story. Their team visited the castle, walked the grounds, and captured the heart behind our restoration project.
Perched atop an 800-foot hill overlooking the Whitewater Valley, the Metamora Castle is entering a dramatic new chapter led by a couple determined to bring life, community, and celebration to one of Franklin County’s most talked-about landmarks.
