Wilson Castle was built in Mid 19th Century and has been home to five generations of Wilson Family. It's design is a blend of European styles. Part of the estate is presently in the Wilson Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization, to preserve its longevity.

The facade of the Castle is set with English brick and marble, and is dominated by nineteen open proscenium arches and shadowed by a towering turret, parapet, and balcony.

The residence of the 115 acre estate has three floors spaciously divided into 32 rooms. The interior features are highlighted with 84 stained-glass windows and 13 fireplaces finished with imported tiles and bronze. The Castle's furnishings include Far Eastern and European antiques and museum pieces, complemented by statuary, Chinese scrolls, and Oriental rugs. The various rooms with their distinctive features provide an elegant and richly gracious interior.

On the grounds are cattle barns, stables, the carriage house, and the glass house.

Tours are open daily-late May through late October 9 A.M.-6 P.M., May through August 8 A.M.-6 P.M., and the rest of the year by appointment.
