7. The White House dates back to the mid-1800s. Originally located in Ray, Indiana, now the owners of The Mill District, James and Jourdan, reside there. In between weddings, if you don’t see James working on the property, you will be sure to find him working on a project at the house. Perched on top of a hill overlooking the 300+ acre cornfield, the view and sunsets are gorgeous. Although this area is private and guests are not allowed, The owners are more than happy to let the Bride, Groom, and photographer use the house as a backdrop for sunset photos.
