Description:
CHARLESTON. Built by James Craik in the early 1800s, this Greek revival home was christened "Elm Grove" for its setting near the Kanawha River. In 1858, George Smith Patton bought the home, retaining it through the Civil War. His grandson, George S. Patton, became one of the best-known American generals and a central figure during World War II. Today, visitors can tour the restored interior and gardens then head over to Daniel Boone Park for a picnic or an afternoon of fishing. |
