A Civil War Landmark Turned Heritage Retreat

Step inside General Braxton Bragg’s 1860s headquarters. Now lovingly restored as a living-history stay, where relics, portraits, and period furnishings tell the story of the Battle of Perryville.

OUR STORY

Where History Finds a Voice

The Crawford House stands as more than brick and timber; it’s a witness.
Once the Confederate headquarters during the Battle of Perryville, these walls felt the weight of decisions that shaped Kentucky’s history.
For generations, time dimmed its voice. But we believed history deserves to be felt, not just studied.
Through careful restoration, every portrait rehung and relic displayed tells a piece of the story; of courage, consequence, and the cost of division.
Today, The Crawford House welcomes guests not only to rest, but to remember.
By opening its doors again, we keep its story and our nation’s shared past ... alive.

The Crawford House Experience

Step into Crawford House — a restored 19th-century home in Perryville, Kentucky, where simplicity and story meet.
This three-bedroom, two-bath retreat carries the primitive charm of the 1860s with a modern touch: high-speed Wi-Fi, a TV in the central gathering room, charging stations, and a stocked kitchen ready for family meals or quiet mornings by the fire.

Outside, the land invites exploration. Stroll toward the nearby state-owned preserve, where a gentle stream winds past limestone rock and a shallow cave—perfect for reflection or a picnic beneath the trees. In the evenings, gather on the patio or around the firepit beneath the wide Kentucky sky.

Just minutes from historic downtown Perryville, the house sits within 20 minutes of several distilleries on the legendary Kentucky Bourbon Trail and less than 15 minutes to Centre College in Danville.
Here, convenience meets quiet country soul—a place to rest, reconnect, and feel the past whisper through every room.

WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING

"History Came Alive For Us"

"Staying at the Crawford House was like stepping back into 1862 but with every modern comfort. We listened to the stories of General Bragg through the QR codes, explored the grounds, and watched the sunset over the same hills soldiers once crossed. It’s an unforgettable blend of history and hospitality."

"Peaceful, powerful, and beautifully restored"

"Every detail reflects care and respect for the home’s history. From the antique furnishings to the thoughtful preservation of its story. We had coffee on the patio each morning, surrounded by quiet and birdsong, aware of the history beneath our feet."

"Like sleeping in a museum, only better"

"I’ve visited Civil War sites all over the South, but this was the first time I actually stayed in one. The Crawford House is a living museum. Every artifact has a story and brings history to life. I left feeling connected, not just informed."

"History came alive for my kids"

"As a homeschooling mom, I’m always looking for ways to make lessons real and the Crawford House did exactly that. The interactive videos, relics, and stories helped my children feel the history of the Civil War, not just read about it. It was hands-on learning wrapped in an unforgettable family experience."
