Little Hocking, Ohio

The Sawyer–Curtis House is a historic residence in the community of Little Hocking in Washington County, Ohio, United States. Located along the Ohio River in southern Belpre Township below the city of Belpre, Little Hocking was settled shortly before 1800. The earliest settler in the vicinity of Little Hocking was Nathaniel Sawyer, a native of Massachusetts who erected a New England–style of house there in 1798. Now known as the Sawyer–Curtis House, it is believed to have been the first permanent structure to be erected anywhere in Belpre Township. Sawyer's house is a weatherboarded structure with a tin roof and a foundation of sandstone. Built around a frame of logs, it is constructed with a typical New England floor plan, with its most significant individual feature being a massive chimney at the center of the house.Besides serving as Sawyer's home, the house has served a range of purposes over the past two centuries. Among the other individuals who have lived there is its other namesake, Horace Curtis, who was one of the leading members of Washington County society in his day. Its uses have not been restricted to residential purposes: it has also been used as a post office and as a store, although it is currently used as a residence. In 1984, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, along with one related building; it qualified for this designation because of its historically significant architecture and its place as the home of one of the area's leading citizens.

Blennerhassett Island is an island on the Ohio River below the mouth of the Little Kanawha River, near Parkersburg in Wood County, West Virginia, United States. Historically, Blennerhassett Island was occupied by Native Americans. Nemacolin, chief of the Delaware Nation, made it his last home, dying in 1767. European Americans knew it as Backus Island, named for Elijah Backus, who purchased it in 1792 in the wave of westward settlement following the American Revolutionary War. In 1798, Harman Blennerhassett, a figure in the Aaron Burr "treason" conspiracy, purchased the east end of the island with his wife Margaret Agnew and it became known by their name. Their residence, Blennerhassett House, where Burr and Blennerhassett are alleged to have plotted treason against the United States in the Burr Conspiracy, burned to the ground in 1811. That area has been designated the Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park and the island was named for him.
