Description

This Mount Vernon house is associated with Alvin P. Hovey, a Posey County native who became a Union general during the Civil War and Indiana’s governor from 1889 until his death in 1891. The property offers a modest but meaningful connection to the local story of a soldier, lawyer, and statesman whose career reached well beyond southwestern Indiana. For travelers interested in Civil War history, Indiana politics, and historic Mount Vernon, it makes a worthwhile exterior stop.
