Ketchum-Wheeler Homestead-1756*
*
This home is on the right hand
side of Route 17A heading west as you pass Ketchum Road.
It no longer resembles the photo because the upper frame
part had been remodeled many years ago. The stone foundation
is still there to see. It was believed to have been built
by Samuel and Phillip Ketcham in 1756 and bought by the
Wheeler family in 1800.
About 1850 William Wheeler built a larger home known today
as the Peach Grove Inn
