Dickerson House - Martin Dickerson is buried in a near by cemetery. He was in the party of Levi Todd that left Fort Harrod in 1779 to make a new settlement to the north side of the Kentucky River, called Todd's Station. Todd's Station broke up after a man by the name of White was killed on April 2, 1780. Many of the settlers returned to Fort Harrod, some went to the newly built fort at Lexington. Martin Dickerson, his brother Archie, and one by the name James Boone, went back to the abandoned Todd's Station and lived high on the gardens and buffalo meet that year.
