AIRPORT - ROG. Surrounded by an colorful backdrop of apple trees and exquisite rose, perennial and native plant gardens, the historic Peel Mansion offers a charming glimpse at what life must have been like for the privileged class in the 1870s. Designed in the Italianate style for Colonel Samuel W. Peel, a Confederate soldier and US Senator, the home is constructed almost entirely of local red brick and hearty yellow pine. Inside, visitors will find that Peel Mansion looks much as it did when the Colonel resided there, decorated as it is with Victorian-era furnishings and showcasing the skilled handiwork of the area's 19th century craftsmen.
