The Homeridge has been a stopping place for people from all over the globe, but it is best known locally as the home to one of Jersey County's most prominent families.  Built in 1867 by New Jersey native Cornelius Fisher on land homesteaded in 1833, the 14-room Homeridge became the home in 1891 of State Senator Theodore S. and Sarah Landon Chapman (a great aunt of current owners Sue and Howard Landon).  The Chapmans, their sons and families relished the beauty and prominence of Homeridge until the 1960s.  The Homeridge was a 1200 acre working farm in those days, known for champion Percheron horses.

Present owners Sue and Howard Landon have opened the doors of The Homeridge as a popular bed and breakfast, keeping the traditions of Senator Chapman's family alive throughout its rooms.  Since 1993, the Landons have been sharing The Homeridge and its history with their guests.  Sue and Howard have been hosts to guests from most of the 50 states as well as Ireland, Scotland, Poland, India, and England.  A cross-stitched sampler hangs in the main hall with the words of Theodore Chapman who loved this house so very much, "I never leave, but with regret and never return, but with rejoicing."
