Depreciation Lands Museum

The Depreciation Lands Museum is a vibrant Colonial era living history settlement, in an area that by 1805 was known as Talley Cavey. Our non-profit museum has a mission to “preserve and interpret the history of the Depreciation Lands and Hampton Township”. We present the lifestyle, hopes and dreams, of the early European settlers in the Depreciation Lands, which includes their interactions with the local natives through our living history interpretations and outreach programs.

Staffed with costumed volunteers, our facility incorporates an original Pine Creek Covenanter church building and the associated cemetery, along with an 1800s log house and many reproduction buildings and artifacts.
