History

Christoffel Vought's parents were German Lutheran immigrants from the Electoral Palatinate. Christoffel built the 2+1⁄2-story stone house in 1759.^[8] The house is a heavy timber frame, and the walls are made with wattle and daub. Distinctive features of the interior are four original plaster ceilings with geometric designs.^[9] The house was part of a 258-acre farm.

Christoffel Vought was a loyalist during the American Revolution and volunteered to join the British Army. Vought was captured by the Patriots and found guilty by a Jury of Inquisition. Vought and his family went into exile in Nova Scotia. The land and house were sold at auction.^[9]
