History

In 1837, Daniel McCook built this large brick house on the southwest corner of the public square in Carrollton, where it was occupied by his family until 1848. It was acquired by the state of Ohio in 1941 and dedicated in 1947 as a memorial to the gallant “Fighting McCooks” because of their contribution to the military, especially in the Civil War.

The McCook House is locally managed by the Carroll County Historical Society.
