Two point one miles east on Island Park Road, on the hill to the left above the spring, stood the residence fort of Captain Jacob Womack, who served in the colonial and Revolutionary wars. Built before 1774, it protected nearby settlers from Indian attacks. About 1785, Womack moved farther west, and the fort was abandoned.
