McKenzie-Easterlin House, 1902, Montezuma

William Lee McKenzie (1865-1937) came to Montezuma in 1844. He and his wife, Annie Harrison McKenzie (1870-1921), had five children. Mr. McKenzie was involved in the timber industry and hand-selected the boards for this house, which he built in 1902. Upon his death in 1937, the house was purchased (1939) by his daughter, Leah McKenzie (1891-1948). Miss McKenzie married Jasper Bennett Easterlin, Jr., and the family has remained in this well-loved home for over a century.

Folk Victorian Cottage, Montezuma

This gabled-ell cottage has strong Victorian accents, perhaps indicating it may have once had a Queen Anne appearance.

Eclectic Victorian House, Montezuma

Real estate listings date this house to 1863, and if that’s correct it has been greatly expanded and modified. It might best be called an Eclectic Victorian, but its vernacular origins are quite evident.

William L. Brown Farm Market, Montezuma

This popular farm market was established as a roadside stand by William L. Brown and his wife, Debra, in 1966. The family continues to operate it today and it has earned landmark status with locals and travelers alike. A second market is now open in Columbus. Visit their website to check on what’s available at any given time.

You’ll probably meet Molly when you’re here. She’s very friendly but mostly likes to just hang out and watch the customers.

Known for its peaches (and peach ice cream, and beans), it features a wide variety of seasonal local produce.

I generally only like the heirloom tomatoes my father grows, but these weren’t bad.

I visited recently with my parents and we bought some late Elbertas, and of course we had to have the peach ice cream. It’s homemade and really should not be missed, no matter when you drop by.
