Lucinda Dogan House

1. Lucinda Dogan House Marker
This small frame house stands as the only surviving original structure of the crossroad village of Groveton. Widow Lucinda Dogan and her five young children moved here shortly after their residence, Peach Grove, burned in 1860. The family joined to smaller outbuildings to create the present dwelling.
The house was repeatedly caught in the crossfire of opposing Union and Confederate armies during the Second Battle of Manassas. Numerous bullets and shell fragments scarred the structure. Years later, the family sought compensation for property damage during the war. The government denied the claim.
Erected 2012 by National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
