August 19, 2023 @ 1:00 pm 2:00 pm

Learn more about the Putnam family who built their 1802 Belpre home which is now located on
Blennerhassett Island. The Putnam-Houser House is also known at Maple Shade. It is an
awesome structure and the program elevates its long history with the Blennerhassetts. Join us
Saturday, August 19, 2023 at 1:00 p.m.

Take a “historic look-back” at the Putnam’s trip to the Ohio frontier, life at Farmer’s Castle during the hostilities, the building of their home (Maple Shade) and the farmstead, the Blennerhassetts as neighbors and friends, and their deaths only 3 days apart.

Five generations of this Putnam Family have called the Putnam-Houser House their home. This one-hour program will be held at the Maple Shade to include a house tour and lecture.

The cost of this event is $5.00 for adults. Call Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park museum at (304) 420-4800 if you have questions or to purchase tickets. This event concludes the 2023 Saturday History Series.
