The RIchland County Fair is coming soon, September 10-13! If you are local, or staying with us at Mill Creek Cabins during that time, check out the animal projects and other exhibits that our 4-H youth have been working on all year, support the local vendors, and have a great time on the midway or at the Grandstand shows.

After Mr. And Mrs. Fox’s only daughter, Inez, married and moved away, they invited a young teacher by the name of Allen Turnipseed to board with them. Allen had recently landed a job at the nearby Sabin School after teaching throughout Richland County.

After living with the Fox’s for some time, Allen announced his engagement. Upon hearing the news, Mr. and Mrs. Fox offered to sell Allen and his new wife Hettie the property.

Shortly after moving to the Fox homestead, Allen and Hettie Turnipseed built a house of their own. Hettie, being a skilled artist, drew the plans for the house herself which included seven gables, plate glass windows from France, and Georgia pine wood. One of the most impressive features of the house was the inclusion of running water provided by the natural springs on the property.

To get water to the house a long pipe was run from the base of spring. Water that went unused would continue to flow to a trough along the roadside before ending up in a nearby stream.

This water trough along the roadside became a popular stop for travelers - to water horses, fill their radiators, or just get a cold drink of fresh spring water.

The outstanding springs, beautiful house, and the Turnipseed's community water trough earned the property a nickname--The Water Villa!

Enjoy these photos of our Water Villa cabin while it was being constructed and what it looks like today.
