Regarding Strickler-Danner House circa 1805. Loyalist Ulrick Strickler moved here in 1801, and built the house in 1805.
During the War of 1812, Americans then later British seized his crops.
While other nearby homes were burned, this one survived the war. Joseph Danner farmed here during 1816-1847; then the Sherk family during 1855-1926. The house was recently a bed-and-breakfast, and is now a private residence again.
