Elmwood Inn does not appear to be on the National Register of Historic Places. I can't find it at National Register of Historic Places listings in Boyle County, Kentucky, nor does it appear to be a Kentucky Historic Marker. Does anyone know more about this property? -Furicorn (talk) 04:05, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Furicorn posted about this also at wt:NRHP and got response there. It is indeed a contributing building in the Perryville Historic District. It was built as a mansion, and later became a private academy, per the NRHP document now in the article. Was it actually the mansion of a plantation? That isn't yet documented. --doncram 02:38, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I edited several links to conform to the names of the pages listed on each of the county-level National Register of Historic Places listings in Kentucky. Generally, the previous links were working links, but the linked pages were not about the plantation:

  1. Alexandria links to the city in Egypt, and it is called Sutfield House on National Register of Historic Places listings in Mercer County, Kentucky.
  2. Arcadia links to a description of the ancient Greek religious concept, but Arcadia (Shelby City, Kentucky) is the listing name on National Register of Historic Places listings in Lincoln County, Kentucky.
  3. Blossom Hill links to a disambiguation page, which shows the red-link to Blossom Hill (plantation), so I just changed the link to directly link to the blank page. Although based on the NRHP number it looks like the current name is "Blossom Hill Farm", it seems like the correct NRHP name might actually be Trout House, which is also reflected on National Register of Historic Places listings in Trimble County, Kentucky
  4. Edgewood, Kentucky links to the city of Edgewood, not the plantation. At National Register of Historic Places listings in Jefferson County, Kentucky, the link to the plantation is listed as Edgewood (Louisville, Kentucky).
  5. The Hickories links to a page about a property in upstate New York, while on National Register of Historic Places listings in Lincoln County, Kentucky it is listed as James W. Alcorn House
  6. Whitehaven links to a page about a city in the UK, while Anderson-Smith House is the listing on National Register of Historic Places listings in McCracken County, Kentucky
  7. Category:Plantations in Kentucky (U.S. State) doesn't exist, unlike Category:Plantations in Kentucky.

Oxmoor removal

[edit]

@Southern.historian: Why was Oxmoor House removed from the list? It seems to still be listed in the National Register of Historic Places listings in Jefferson County, Kentucky, and as far as I can tell, it is a plantation? Or is it miscategorized as a plantation? I've added it back for now. -Furicorn (talk) 19:08, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Furicorn: I think you'll find evidence that it was a hemp plantation If it was removed by me, it was by complete accident. I apologize that it's taken me so long to work on this article. Initially, I thought it would go much quicker.- Southern.historian
@Southern.historian: ok got it, it definitely seemed to have been a plantation to me, glad I wasn't wrong. No need to apologize on taking too long to me haha, I for one view Wikipedia as (hopefully) a project of generations, so what difference does it make if an article takes one year or five, as long as it's as good as can be in the end? -Furicorn (talk) 21:46, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mount Lebanon

[edit]

The link currently listed for Mount Lebanon is for the mountain in the Middle East; I don't think the house has a wiki page, but I don't know how to remove the link. Vikki8021 (talk) 00:51, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
