Millennium Manor was my favorite stop on our travels. And with the weather being what it was, it made it perfect to take photos of a castle.
[bordeauxbarb, 03/27/2023]Since the last tip there has been massive amount of progress here! One man, Dean Fontaine, is handling the herculean task of restoring this castle with 18-foot-thick stone walls -- all so that we can learn about its extremely interesting history. Work is still proceeding, and will for a while, but it is open for tours on the weekends from 12-5. You can also call for reservation tours through the week. Hope you have as much fun as we did.
[Krystal McCammon, 07/17/2022]Millennium Manor is currently under construction (they are also asking for contributions of rocks -- on the larger side). It was closed when I went, but you might see a bunch of people working on it, and it seems to be in mid-repair. You can still see the exterior (bring a rock if you can). It does have unique architectural elements. While it's a registered historical property (as per the placard outside), it is also a private residence, so don't go wandering around while it's closed.

Heard eerie music playing inside Millennium Manor while we were there. Very cool, hidden gem.
