General Abram Sanders Piatt served in the Mexican War and the Civil War. An accomplished poet, politician, and farmer, he worked his beloved estate his whole life. Everything needed to build the Chateau was made on site except for the glass and slate for the roof. As Mac-O-Chee Castle, this castle was decorated and frescoed by the French artist Oliver Frey. Inside will be found family antiques, Native American artifacts, war relics and more.
Mac-A-Cheek Castle has never left the Piatt Family. Five generations of Piatts have lived in the castle.

A. Sanders Piatt, one of the brave sons of Ohio. He was taught at the same college as his brother, and, like him, had the best traits of both parents. When his school life was done, he chose to live on the farm; and went back to his lands in the rich valley of the Macochee, where he wrote or tilled the soil as he liked.When the war of the Rebellion broke out in our land, he was one of the first to obey his country's call. On April 30, 1861, he was made Colonel of the Thirteenth Ohio Infantry. Later he raised a regiment, and clothed and fed them for a month and six days with his own gold. This was called the first Zouave Regiment, from the fact that the men wore a fine red-legged uniform, which they were soon forced to give up.
As General Piatt did not join the army with the thought of making it his life work, after much brave fighting, he left the field and went back to the Macochee, where a large family of motherless children needed his care. Here he can still be found at work in his fields or in his pleasant study.
From "A History of Ohio in Words of One Syllable" written in 1888 by Annie Cole Cady,
pages 137-141.-------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL A. SANDERS PIATT’S stately home stands sentinel where the
Mac-o-chee meets the Mad river valley, and the noisy little stream glides like an eel, through the narrow opening of the wooded hills. General Piatt was a born soldier—tall, erect and well proportioned, and with great force of character. His career in the army was brief but brilliant. He was among the first to volunteer in response to President Lincoln’s call for seventy-five thousand men, and he left the field only after being disabled by an attack of typhoid fever, from which he has never entirely recovered. For a brief mention of his services we quote from “Ohio in the War” and can but add that in his patriotic effort to raise a brigade at his own expense, he brought on financial embarrassments from which he yet suffers, so that both in body and fortune he carries scars that are decorations to one who is without fear and without reproach. Whitelaw Reid says:
“He solicited and received authority from Mr. Lincoln to enlist a brigade for the war. Relying upon his own means he selected a camp, and organized the first Zouave regiment (so called, though for no reason save that they wore a fancy reg-legged uniform which they were soon forced to discard) in Ohio.
“He subsisted his regiment for one month and six days, and was then commissioned as colonel and ordered to Camp Dennison. The regiment was designated the 34th. He continued recruiting, with permission from the State authorities, and a second regiment was subsequently organized and designated the 54th. This second regiment was being rapidly filled up when Colonel Piatt was ordered to report with the 34th to General Rosecrans, then commanding in West Virginia.
“On his way to join Rosecrans he met an organized band of rebels in a strongly fortified position near Chapmansville, West Virgini
“After making a reconnaissance he attacked and drove the enemy in utter rout from his position, and wounded and captured the commander of the force, Colonel J. W. Davis.
“Colonel Piatt next attacked and defeated a rebel force at Hurricane, which was co-operating with General Floyd, then at Cotton Hill
In March, 1862, he was obliged to return to Ohio on account of a serious attack of typhoid fever. Before his recovery he was commissioned brigadier-general.
In July he was assigned from General Sigel’s command to a brigade in General McClellan’s army, and a month later took a very gallant part in the battle of Manassas Junction. Reid says:
“Here he halted his brigade while the one in front marched on toward Washington. General Piatt remarked to General Sturgis that he had gone far enough in that direction in search of General Porter, and that with his permission he would march to the battle-field. He then ordered his men into the road and guided by the sound of artillery he arrived at the battle-ground of Bull Run at 2 o’clock P. M. The brigade went into action on the left, and acquitted itself with great courage. General Pope, in his official report complimented General Piatt very highly for the soldierly feeling which prompted him, after being misled and with bad example of the other brigade before his eyes, to push forward with such zeal and alacrity to the field of battle.
“In the battle of Fredericksburg General Piatt occupied the right, and had the satisfaction of being assured by his superior officer that his brigade performed well the duty assigned to it.”
Since his return from the army General Piatt has lived the retired life of a farmer, enlivened by books and literary pursuits. He is a clever wielder of the pen, and not only an essayist but a poet. His contributions to the magazines, notably the North American Review, mark him as a clear thinker, of a vigorous, incisive style. He has taken part in politics always as a Democrat when not a Greenbacker; as of the last he was once nominated by that party as their candidate for Governor, and would have received a heavy vote but for the fact that the two candidates in the field at the time, being Hon. Chas. Foster and Hon. Thomas Ewing, were something of Greenbackers themselves.
General Piatt has the temperament and all the qualities that go to make a successful leader of men. In illustration of this we have an event told by a correspondent of the New York World.
It was after the gathering upon the fields of Chickamauga of Union and Confederate officers to designate the lines of battle and prepare the ground for a great National Park. General Piatt made one of the number on a belated train of the Queen and Crescent when a frightful collision occurred. The correspondent says:
“We were thrown out of our seats by the concussion that had a deafening crash and then a no less deafening escape of steam. Although much shaken up the passengers were unhurt, and we hastily tumbled out. The scene that met our eyes was terrible. The two huge locomotives were jammed into each other, a great mass of wrenched and broken iron. The freight train loaded with ties scattered in piles each side of the track. The baggage car was telescoped in the postal car, and the two made a stack of broken boards and timber piled on each other. As we swarmed about the ruins I saw the tall, soldierly form of General Sanders Piatt climbing upon the wreck. He suddenly began gesticulating, but what he said we could not hear. Suddenly the escaping steam ceased, and then the startling cry came to us from General Piatt: ‘There are live men under this wreck; come on!’ Sure enough, we could hear the feeble moans of one and the agonizing screams of another.
“It was singular to see how one man could take control in the emergency as General Piatt. He not only worked himself, but directed the others, officers of the railroad, veterans of the army and passengers. It was not only a heroic effort of a strong man, but an intelligent one. I noticed two men armed with axes cutting at a part of the under car that remained intact. General Piatt saw them. ‘For God’s sake don’t do that,’ he cried, ‘you will bring down tons on us.’ In an hour, that seemed like five to us, the hurt men were got at. It was pitiful to see their mangled forms lifted tenderly out by the laborers, then as black as negroes from the soot that had settled on everything. The gallant old veteran who directed the work was so exhausted when the work was done that we had to carry him back to the passenger car that yet remained upon the track. General Piatt had won his laurels on hard-fought battles of the war, but no brighter crown could be awarded him than his labors on this occasion
A. Sanders Piatt was born in Cincinnati, May 2, 1821. But for a brief period of his life in Boone county, Ky., he has been a resident of Logan, where he yet will have, we trust, many years of happy life.
