Since we hadn't stayed here in a couple years we decided to spend the night at [McMenamins Edgefield](https://www.mcmenamins.com/edgefield), a former poor farm turned hotel. Follow along as I share some photos from our stay.** ![edgf-20.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oldmans/243BZprZmUuepcrVdquuBWUMojenkrU2PTgv5EeTe3d2v23KaS9bVpBZanujm3JRHco9u.JPG)Walking up from the parking lot to the main entrance. ***Click images for larger view*** ![divider hive1.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oldmans/23tkmiuSqXLNc8fhprcx3CzWLXpWmzaRwAWnmBt2VviKfGX5pL2poUZpTfYcbLtKkDfpk.PNG)

A very stately looking old building that was built in 1911. -----

A couple views looking out from the front porch. ----- ![edgf-3.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oldmans/23vsNJpWkNYFamnwCBzYxhqtcoWDgcHRLiEAU4D9K1EBRtZ32UpiEfxe9jnY9Chsf6mK8.JPG)The rooms are pretty basic but do contain some nice old furniture and artwork on the walls. There are no televisions or fridges in the rooms. So you will be scouring the 50 some acres of property for one of several eating places and enjoying the magnificently manicured landscaping. ![edgf-4.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oldmans/2432BDnEmtdgGieFU5SHTyhQwWtzJV1N6FRPMw2WbuaLo5jnSQNw1PHEag6KTPh3YcbNs.JPG)A large stand of bamboo. Not something you see around these parts too often.

More on the tower later in the post as I capture a special night picture.

Seems like a lot of effort went into creating this unique planter wall. ----- ![edgf-11.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oldmans/23tmFvqbUd4EnHDsQsBsdTDQNkaRkh8oCBzFLuLus3pyPfFuKx7vjPWP62RSAEsWVsGeC.JPG)A few shots taken while walking around one of the small gardens. ![edgf-12.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oldmans/23uQpHUtsEMPSMqFzTn7oyA9eCbg4jT9Bxx8qd7ufePpCYQLPrJJm7S2rEX26GYe1D7AK.JPG) ![edgf-13.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oldmans/23tmHi5gSG8MJf69A3W4djyxwLw9hPKTbNCkttfMJSxoUutCHHKV5o3CSu8oQ8oAxvdyW.JPG) ![edgf-14.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oldmans/242hQGL7sRuFRE7NK7VDAqn8khjMBBuMzeN7Xuriw7ZsdichjXTwUXcogb1yERXzUe6JJ.JPG) ![edgf-15.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oldmans/242DEMzu21WzDhRyqx6A7w5stW8tsLRovDUrft8ENjLf4p5NeGrymApYDmMmynkEQfTJb.JPG) ![edgf-16.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oldmans/23vhyevuJdwxjKCchynF3tjrXeCtjsKKcth9VJduDFbUhZuLJvn6TTWdpXYJeUwC7oRFy.JPG) ![edgf-17.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oldmans/23wC7VDfRt8WbzpBmYMxjdMuXiCNhH94H5REjLB8soCWrtUxVGJZ994hHayGNzBQ3wEQx.JPG)
