"The House That Was Always There"



Welcome To Geandaugh House, "The House That Was Always There!"

Some say this old house, built in the late 1700's, was first used as lodging for the boatmen who traveled the Mississippi River.

Elizabeth Des Amourez, a Duchess, from Gurensey Island, was the first in a series of women who have owned this property.

Elizabeth Kennerly, a cousin of William Clark is also listed as an owner.

We like to think that both he and Merriweather Lewis were among the early visitors to our home.




 		The Federal brick addition was added in the early 1800's and served as a home for the Eugene Amor family until they built the house next door. The "Prairie House" then became a place of business, housing among other things, a cigar factory, an open produce market, and an ice cream parlour.

Falling into ruins and scheduled to be blighted, Geandaugh House was rescued and restored by the Popp family in 1985.

Geandaugh House was opened in the summer of 1990 as a Bed and Breakfast after more than four years of renovation done mostly by the Popp family members. We have discovered that renovation of this old house is an ongoing process, which we lovingly continue to do.
