In 1608, English explorer Captain John Smith conducted two expeditions on the Chesapeake Bay. He was charged by the Virginia Company to seek precious metals and a water passage to the Pacific. His first voyage focused on the Bay's western shore. His second trip took him to the head of the Bay, where he explored what are known today as the Sassafras, Northeast and Susquehanna rivers. While on the Sassafras, Smith encountered a group of American Indians known as the Tockwogh. Though Smith did not find gold, silver or a "Northwest Passage," his writings and maps served as important guides for future explorers and settlers in the Bay region.

The American Indians of the Sassafras region - known as the Tockwogh - survived by harvesting the rich bounty of plants and animals of the Chesapeake. They netted rockfish and other finfish, gathered shellfish and crabs during low tides, hunted deer and small game, and gathered wild nuts during the fall. The Tockwogh were also avid farmers, growing corn, squash and other crops.

The house before you - known as Knock's Folly - has witnessed more than 200 years of history. Henry Knock constructed the original clapboard log portion of the house around 1753. Donaldson Yeates bought the log house in 1770. After his death, his family added the brick wing to the structure, completing it in 1796. The "Folly" was owned by descendants of Yeates until 1974, when Kent County acquired it. In 1991, the building and surrounding property was transferred to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.

“No written nor expressed language could ever picture the field of Gettysburg! Blood! Blood! And tattered flesh! Shattered bones and mangled forms almost without resemblance of human beings! Faces torn and bruised and lacerated . . . groans and cries, screams and curses, moans and grinding teeth! The horrible silence of torture beyond all expression . . . those weeks of sickening work, when the cut of the knife and the rasp of the saw . . . Grated on my overtaxed nerves.”
