Home in the wilderness 1821-1870. Built in 1821 downstream a quarter mile on the Auglaize west bank by Sebastian Sroufe, War of 1812 veteran, and wife Mary, this home was postal stop Sugar Grove on the Ft. Recovery-Ft. Defiance route and in 1828, Perry Township organization meeting site. On January 24, 1829, Sebastian was appointed the first postmaster in Putnam County.

Seven years after Sebastian's death in 1830, Mary wed Judge John Perkins, Brunersburg Mill owner, and leased her Auglaize River home.
Pearson B. holden, Christian Union Church pastor, and wife, Priscilla (Ridenour) were operating this double log home as a tavern housing up to thirty travelers a night in 1846, when Henry Howe sketched the Home-In-The-Wilderness for his Historical Collections of Ohio.
