During the Revolutionary War, the Northern Army marched into Stillwater and selected the highest point to camp and fortify for battle. The site centered on the Neilson House, known as “the Summit.” The Neilson house served as Benedict Arnold’s divisional headquarters and Enoch Poor’s brigade headquarters during the Battles of Saratoga. Daily operations would have been managed here, such as writing, receiving, and disseminating orders, letters, and reports. The Neilson family did return to the largely ruined farm, they soon rebuilt and began to prosper.
We handcraft this house on 3/4" thick wood in our Ohio workshop.
See Casper? He's our black cat mascot, enjoying the beautiful view from this high point in Stillwater.
