Stagecoach stop on the northwestern turnpike (1846). ("the first coach (of english or old virginia make) that ever traveled from winchester to the ohio river. In 1846 it belonged to major hildebrand, mail contractor at marietta, ohio, and was temporarily stored in a dilapidated condition with gen. Carder, hotel keeper at clarksburg. The house is an average specimen of the old road taverns where the coach used to stop. ").
