"HISTORY"
The Kelly House on Beech Fork Creek in Morgan County was built in 1814when settlers with landgrants for Revolutionary War service weremoving into the Tennessee wilderness. The gravel road in front of thehouse, with its plank bridges across the creeks, was at one time themain turnpike between Petros and Wartburg.

Ezra Stonecipher, Lillie Kelly's maternal great-grandfather, built thehouse and subsequently sold it to her paternal great-grandfather,James Martin Kelly. Four generations of Kellys have lived in the oldhouse, and descending grandchildren, through the eighth generation,have visited here and climbed the staircases beside the huge stonechimney to view the loom on the third floor.

The original construction of hand-hewn poplar logs can be seen in astorage room on the second floor where valuables were hidden from thesoldiers during the Civil War. The second floor bedroom ceilings havehand-planed joists with beaded edges, and the rafters, clearly visibleon the third floor, are put together with wooden pegs.

The kitchen initially had a huge fireplace for cooking and heating.The dining room and kitchen doors have the nail-head trim peculiar toearly American houses. Lillie recalls that the house once had shuttersat the windows and an upstairs porch to air their bedding.

The old house has stood one hundred and sixty-nine years, shelteringagainst the cold of winter and the heat of summer's sun. Its roomshave rung with joy and laughter. It has rejoiced when babies were bornand stood bleak and silent when sickness and death have taken theirtoll.

Most of all, it has always been a house of love and warm hospitality,reflecting the spirit of those within.
