Archeological excavations at the Robinson House site were performed in 1995 and 1996 and focused around and within the existing house foundations and in the outlying yard areas. Excavations uncovered the base and a portion of the hearth to the 1840s Robinson house chimney, located a few feet to the west of the existing 1926 foundations. This find provides the first documented evidence of the 1840s structure. In addition, archeologists located a Civil War era barn, a possible root cellar, foundations to an unidentified outbuilding, and the remains of an ice house, later used as a trash pit by the family. |
