Vermillion Homeplace

When Dr. James R. Vermillion arrived in 1845 to settle on a 1,575-acre land grant, he first built a one-room log cabin to serve as the family's main living quarters and then built a second log building behind the first to house the kitchen. As the need arose for additional rooms to accommodate a growing family, the two log structures were joined together and incorporated into a larger single structure to which several further additions were made in stages, the last having been completed in 1904. Concord College acquired the house in 1969 and demolished it in August 2004.
