All range in size from ½ in. H x ½ in. W to 11 in. H x 16 in. W. 19th century.

Note: "Originally constructed before 1819, and possibly as early as the 1790s, the house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The property has only been occupied by five families since 1819... [A] log building across from the main house served as a Union army hospital during the Civil War. There is allegedly a cannonball lodged in the upper gable of the house. In landscaping the property, a Civil war era pistol was uncovered." (Source: Foothills Land Conservancy)
