Historic Interest

The home was begun in the early 1800s just after the time that Carlisle was founded as the seat of Cumberland County. It is located in the Carlisle Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Carlisle is nestled in the Cumberland Valley - a major route through the Appalachians in the days of the early settlers. From Jacques Letort in the early 1700s, through the days of King George III, the revolution, George Washington and Ben Franklin, this area is steeped in the essential history of our United States.
