Weddings & Events
Often considered “Greenville’s Most Romantic House,” it is perfectly natural that the Kilgore-Lewis House has become a favorite wedding spot for many local couples over the years.
Not only is the house aesthetically beautiful with spacious rooms and outdoor areas for guests, but tradition holds that the house began as a wedding gift itself! In the mid-19th century, weddings were most often held in the bride’s parents’ home. In 1855, soon after Josiah Kilgore’s daughter, Mary Keziah and John Wycliffe Stokes were married (probably in the front parlor of this house), Kilgore deeded the house to the young couple for “five dollars, love and affection.”
NOT JUST FOR WEDDINGS
