Overlooking the Sampit River, the
Kaminski House Museum is pre-
Revolutionary War and one of over 60
antebellum landmarks in the Georgetown
Historic District. The house was built by
Paul Trapier, a prominent local merchant,
concidered to be one of the wealthiest
citizens of the colony. The house is
typical of the "single house" construction
of the period, and was constructed
to catch the breezes off the river. The
narrow end of the home faced the street
with the entry way located midway down
one side of the building.

In 1859 the rich Comstock Silver Lode was discovered in Washoe Territory, Nevada, causing many miners to quickly pack up and head east.

A journalist described the road as “...a mixture of excellence and abominations.”
