Heritage

Barnes Home
1832 Wakefield Mound Road, Piketon
The Barnes Home was initially built in 1803. Both it and the Sargent Home to the north were positioned to overlook Pike County's most elaborate Indian earthworks. In front of the Barnes Home lay the Barnes Works, a complex arrangement of geometric mounds. In 1848 the Barnes and Sargent families hosted Abraham Lincoln, then a congressman, who came to view the ancient earthworks, as well as to network with supporters. The last passenger pigeon ever seen in the wild waas shot near the house on March 22, 1900.
