Perhaps the oldest structure on The Morris Estate, The Red Horse Inn, began life as a trading post in the 1800s along the St. Joseph River, where French fur traders bartered with Native inhabitants of the land. Threatened by destruction, it was floated down the river and carefully perched on a bluff overlooking the water. It is also said to be the hidden spot for high-wager poker games between E.M. Morris and local farmers and landowners.
