Colonel Orien Haseltine, of Andover, Vermont, came to Vernon in 1838 following his sons, Orien Jr. and Curtis who came two years earlier to claim 400 acres. The community of Vernon was named by Haseltine in honor of George Washington's home, Mount Vernon. In 1859 Haseltine moved to south central Wisconsin. This house, built of fieldstone, is located at W230 S8235 Big Bend Drive. It was built with more than 10,000 cobblestones in 1842, according to the date stone centered above south gable window. It was placed on the National Register in 1980. It has had many owners over the years. Richard Palmer blog.
