1. The Conner House was never just bricks, glass and wood Marker
This was a home where children were born and neighbors came to call.
Travelers stopped here for a warm bed and a generous table. They played music and talked about books and ideas and the wider world beyond the river.
Judges held court in the Public Room, while merchants and speculators struck deals on the back porch.
This house shaped the lives of the family that lived here, as well as the history of the county and the state.
