Located at 10305 Montgomery Road

This house was built by Adam Grover from sun-cured bricks made on the property. Mr. Grover gave the property at the corner of Montgomery and Deerfield Roads to establish the Hopewell Cemetery. This house has been a residence, a stagecoach stop, a tavern, and during the Civil War period a stop for the underground railway system which transported slaves to the north. Marion Kjellenberg was the town historian and editor of the Sycamore Messenger, a local newspaper for many years.
