The David Bradford House
|
 The
home of David Bradford, leader of the Whiskey Insurrection in
1794, is located at 173 S. Main St. The house was completed
in 1788, and was then said to be the finest house west of the
Allegheny Mountains. Part of the inside woodwork was brought
from England, and the stairway is said to have cost a guinea
a step, which was a fabulous price in those days. A sister of
Bradford's was married to Jefferson Davis, and Mrs. Rebecca
Harding Davis, author, and mother of Richard Harding Davis,
author, was born in this house on June 24, 1831. The Bradford
House has been restored and was opened to the public on September
18,1965.
