Teachout House, Old Route 31, [old portion of Montezuma Turnpike] is Currently unoccupied. Teachout family lived here, 1847-1943. A story is told of a young girl, Minerva Croul, who observed construction of the house and dreamed of one day living there. She eventually married Henry Teachout, who had a tannery in Lyons. He later purchased the house and its 212-acre farm. The land was heavily wooded and stony at the time and took a tremendous effort to develop. Eventually tobacco was one of their major crops. Minerva lived there until she died at 90. Richard Palmer blog.
