Milestone Plantation

Originally a portion of the acreage owned by Thomasville winter visitor, John D. Archbold, the property was purchased in the early 20th- century by George C. Humphrey, president of the Cleveland-based M.A. Hanna Company. Mr. Humphrey, who became Secretary of the Treasury during the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower, retained the services of architect Ed Reed to design the main house and a small collection of guest cottages. President Eisenhower, and first lady Mamie Eisenhower, could be frequent visitors to Milestone as the president enjoyed hunting in the Red Hills. Following a heart attack in 1955, Eisenhower recuperated at Milestone, announcing that he would run for re-election in 1956 from the 18th hole at Glen Arven.

The property’s name – Milestone – is taken from a late 19th century highway marker (i.e. a “milestone”) which once stood at the property’s drive, indicating the 8 mile distance from the site to nearby Thomasville.
