This house, built about 1780, was the old Bird-in-Hand General Store. Originally this area was named "Bird-in-Hand" for sign of a tavern that stood nearby. A building just SW of here was a forge. Like the store it later was converted into a residence.

Example

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
