Antrim 1844
History
Built in 1844, Antrim was once a thriving plantation and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Colonial Andrew Ege gave the name of his birthplace, County Antrim in Ireland, to this property and then gave it to his daughter as a wedding gift. In 1861, Washington D.C. district court chief justice George Washington Clabaugh bought Antrim, and it remained in his family for a century. Antrim was used as headquarters by General Meade prior to the Battle of Gettysburg. Today, after an extensive restoration, Antrim 1844 is a country in on 24 acres of scenic countryside. The Greek Revivial-style mansion with Federal influences retains its elegance and charm.
