Dwelling House/Cow House 1754

(reconstructed)

Within weeks of their first arrival, the Brothers found the need to build a guesthouse for the "strangers" who came to seek the services of the doctor, lawyer and tradesmen. However, this particular structure was converted into a "house" for cows by the following summer. The interpretive reconstruction is based on a sketch of the house from a map drawn in July 1754.

"In the afternoon a place for a small dwelling house was staked off near the spring."

Bethabara Diary, January 7,1754.

Marker can be reached from Bethabara Road, on the right when traveling east.
