Slate Creek Trail

Morgan's Station



The material from the Morgan's Station stockade and structures 
was used to build the house that sits near the station site today. 
This house was completed in 1795. 

The lower level walls are nearly two feet thick. The walls narrow 
in thickness at the second floor and attic levels. The plank flooring 
is in excellent condition. Most of the walls have their original
plaster intact. Much of the interior decorative molding has been 
removed for restoration.

The old house has a lot of potential as a public attraction.

Thre is an old cemetery a short distance from the house, 
and the old well still produces cool, clear spring water, 
just as it has done continuously for nearly 220 years.
