The first homes on this land were shelters built of timbers with roofs of hay. They were eventually replaced with log cabins. Over time, fine stone houses were built. Some of those houses are still standing. The pages below feature some of the Ferree homes, those of other prominent families that intermarried with the Ferrees, and Ferree related historic sites. |
