Looking for a quiet place that takes you back in time to the days of big side wheelers and little steam packets; watching them load and unload passengers and freight, then move up and down the Ohio River? Imagine standing on the wharf at "steamboat time", watching the hustle and bustle of people coming and going, bells ringing, boat horns blowing, men moving boxes and bales to be taken to nearby towns, Captains and their mates shouting orders. Oh, such a time it was back then when life was simple and James Tandy Ellis was a young man. New local attractions include Kentucky Speedway for NASCAR opening in June 2000 just ten minutes from The Poet's House and the Belterra Casino opening in August, 2000 just across the river in Switzerland County, Indiana. THE POETS' HOUSE is located halfway between Cincinnati and Louisville off of Interstate 71 (take the Carrollton exit) and U.S. 42. Approximately one hour from either city. Upon your departure, relish the new feelings of rejuvenation you acquired. You can now "Take on the Day" with a new appreciation because you have visited THE POETS' HOUSE BED AND BREAKFAST and sat with James Tandy Ellis.
