Isaac Tripp built his original log house
in 1771. Six generations of Tripp descendants
have lived here. The earliest section was
built during the American Revolution,
enlarged in 1786, remodeled to Federal style
in 1812, and embellished in Victorian manner
in 1870. This building represents the true
expression of the area's history.
