Site of Wood's Blockhouse 1793, one of the earliest permanent buildings in the wilderness. In May 1775, John Floyd and company, including Benjamin Logan, reached here and decided to use Skagg's Trace. They proceeded westward, camping at the site called St. Asaph. Logan Station was built there (present-day Stanford) in 1777.
