Step into this historic old farm homestead and be reminded of the courage of the pioneers who cleared, settled and cultivated wild forest land. The materials used in building came from the land on which it stands. Oak and walnut for the frame and floors, stone for the foundation and clay for the hand-pressed bricks formed the building as it rose beside a spring of clear water.
The doors are of double thickness, set in 14-inch thick walls as protection from the dangers of the wilderness and attack by Tecumseh's tribes who were on the warpath in 1810.
