This is the story of how Inntiquity, our Indiana Country Inn went from a large horse farm to an historic bed and breakfast.

In 1849, Levi Brown started his Percheron imported horse farm on a land grant from Millard Fillmore. The family maintained the Old Michigan Road toll road on this property. The tollhouse was the house across from road 100.

In the 1860's, milk cows were added in a section of the barn. A dairy was operated here until the 1970's. Julia Cappel, a great-great grandmother, inherited the farm in 1888 and moved to Logansport from Plymouth. A painting, painted in 1904 by Indiana artist, Wils Berry, of the farm showing Pleasant Valley Dairy hangs in the office.

The house and the barn were both built in 1849 and faced each other, as the road was not considered important. The property sat empty until 1934 when Helen and George Naftzger made this their home.

In the 1980's, the current Naftzger's were trying to find a way to keep the property in the family for another generation. There was no longer enough land to farm. We then considered turning the large barn into a country inn similar to the ones we had seen in California and Virginia. We started to add to our collection of architectural fixtures and antique furnishings by attending auctions, building sales, bankruptcies and demolitions.

Ten to twelve years later, we opened Inntiquity, A Country Inn to the public, enabling us to host wonderfully interesting guests, some neighbors and some from all over the world! We are located in the city of Logansport, IN where there are always exciting activities for our guests to experience while staying at Inntiquity
