Hugh McGary House

This house was owned by Hugh and Katie Yocum McGary in 1795 but construction methods indicate an earlier building date. The house is of timber-frame construction with brick nogging. Much original woodwork remains. 

McGary was a pioneer in Mercer County and a Major at the Battle of Blue Licks. He married first the widow Mary Buntin Ray who was the mother of General James Ray. McGary was an extensive landowner and businessman in Mercer County and Harrodsburg. Among his properties was a tavern on Main Street.
