Old Virginia Walter Builds a Gibson County House
Settlers from Patoka to Mt Vernon joined a log house raising in Montgomery township to help Walter Crockett Montgomery construct a frontier home. The 20x30 foot log structure featured puncheon floors, rough hewn clapboards, glassless greased paper windows, noggins bowls, and a central fireplace for cooking and heating. The estate served as a rallying point against possible Indian attacks and linked Montgomery with General William Henry Harrison.
