Former Site of Tory Gaol
A log jailhouse (gaol), built to house British prisoners or Tories, stood on this site in June, 1776. The tiny two story gaol was 30 feet long and 20 wide. The six-room facility held prisoners throughout the Revolutionary War.
Converted to a stable after the war, the building stood until 1846.
