General Wood's Fort
On a high knoll, overlooking the surrounding
land, stood the home of General Solomon Wood,
Revolutionary soldier. Near this home, General
Wood built a blockhouse for the protection of
his family and neighbors. When there was any
sign or sound of Indian trouble, a large bell,
loud enough to be heard for two miles, would
summon everyone within hearing range to the
shelter of the fort. General Wood is buried near
the site of his home and fort, now part of
" Victory Farm. "
