Mercer County to Move Historic Wall House to Glenwood Park
Local volunteers led by Darrell McPherson and the Mountain Resource Conservation and Development Area plan to relocate The Wall House, also known as The Caffee Cabin, from Route 20 to Glenwood Recreation Park to preserve a probable early post 1794 log courthouse with defensive features and a gun port. Dr. David Najar supported the project by allowing time for arrangements. The cabin will serve as an educational resource for school children, highlighting local craftsmanship and history amid broader preservation challenges nationwide.
