Samuel Shrewsbury built this house circa 1810 on a 704 acre tract of land received from Colonel John Dickinson. Sandstone and hewn hardwood logs used in its construction were obtained locally from the land. Shrewsbury, a revolutionary soldier, moved here with his family in 1798 from Bedford County, Virginia, and he and his brother John became active with Dickinson in the salt industry.
