Mt. Pleasant Historic Preservation Project
About Mount Pleasant: Richmond’s Rescued Historic Gem
Nestled at 291 S. Second Street in Richmond, KY, Historic Mount Pleasant stands as a Gothic Revival treasure built around 1827. This elegant home was spared from imminent demolition through the heroic, cooperative efforts of preservation-minded citizens who rallied to save it for future generations.
Today, Mount Pleasant serves the community it calls home, hosting enchanting events like family tours, tea parties, and holiday celebrations alongside nearby landmarks such as the A.R. Burnam House. From children’s dress-up tea parties to Wine & Wonders evenings, it embodies our shared commitment to History - Hospitality - Commemoration.
Rescued by the community. Serving the community. Visit us for timeless Kentucky charm!
