History:

Steeped in history, The Ceresville Mansion was originally constructed in 1888 on land once known as Dulaney’s Lot, with roots tracing back to 1724. Originally granted to General Otho Williams, the estate saw the establishment of the Ceresville grist mill and the first mansion house, alongside a sawmill. In 1816, Edward Shriner acquired the property and, as a testament to enduring love, commissioned the construction of The Ceresville Mansion as an anniversary gift for his beloved wife.
