Geocache Description:


Elizabethtown - Creighton House was a wagon
and drove-stand. The house has been altered
over the years. It is one of a few surviving National
Road wagon and drove-stands. Great Conestoga wagons drawn by six horses, loaded with farm products for the east or merchandise for the west, would pull into the yard for the night. Drovers of cattle, sheep or hogs would herd their stock into the drove-lots to be fed. Drovers bought stock from the farmers and took it afoot to the eastern markets. They often paid no more than two or three cents a pound for hogs and cattle and a dollar or two each for fat sheep. Since it was not profitable to drive herds of fewer than 100, most frequently the number was 200 or more. In good weather many drovers detoured on the Wheeling Rd. (Zane’s Trace), because the loose stone of the Old National Road injured the feet of the stock.
