Nathaniel Burrus House

A veteran of the Revolutionary War where he participated in the 1781 siege of Yorktown, Burrus and his wife Mary Threlkeld, built this transitional Federal brick home circa 1830. The kitchen is of hand-hewn walnut logs. Burrus amassed a fortune with his extensive farming operations and produce trading conducted on nearby Kentucky River. This 1830 house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the site contains many original outbuildings. An early log house has been moved and reconstructed from its nearby location on the Salt River. All situated on the George McAfee settlement and preemption.
