Military
The Hart House stood amid fierce fighting during the Battle of Rich Mountain. Joseph Hart, grandson of a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was an avid Union supporter who fled with his family when Confederates seized the mountain. Their two-story log home gave shelter during the battle and served as a hospital afterward, where surgeons amputated limbs and dressed the wounds of many soldiers.
