1. Hallock Homestead Marker

Inscription. Reuben Brown constructed the front part of this house about the time of his marriage to Elinor Youngs in 1765. The back wing, which originally was on the west side, may be even older. The Hallock family purchased the farm about 1800 and in 1845 "raised the roof" of the original "Cape Cod" house to make it two-and-a-half stories tall. Photo taken before a large west wing was moved across the street in 1903

Erected by Hallockville Museum Farm. (Marker Number 5.)
