Carter House

Built 1830 by Fountain Branch Carter, and in use by three generations of his family. Here was command post of Maj Gen. Jacob D. Cox, Federal field commander of Schofield’s delaying action. The hottest fighting took place just east and south; nearby, Capt. Theodoric Carter, CSA, a son of the family, was mortally wounded.
