Between Ford and Wilsons stations was 22 year old White Oak Methodist Church. The grounds were used as a wayside hospital for Confederate wounded until burned to the ground on June 23, 1864 by Union cavalry. Built in 1862, the hospital contained three ward buildings and cook house operations overseen by Dr. B.P. Reese, local surgeon and church member. Additional staff were Dr. Doyle, Dr. Worsham and Ward Master Emmons.
In 1909 the church filed a claim to recover the cost of damages as a result of intentional burning. Witnesses gave testimony as to what took place including Lawson Holmes a former slave who stated that Union troops leaving the area said they set fire to the buildings. The claim was ultimately denied.

Established in 1934, during the Great Depression, Camp Three housed 250 bonus army veterans until September 2, 1935 when one of the worst hurricanes ever recorded destroyed everything there. The eye of the hurricane passed over nearby Craig Key with a recorded barometric pressure of 26.35 inches and winds in excess of 200 miles per hour. Only eight of the veterans were known to have survived. The only visible remains of their work is the Veterans Key and the eight "coffins" that were to be the foundation for a bridge that would link Lower Matecumbe Key with Long Key.

On this site stood the "Bishop's Palace", residence of Bishop John Strachan (1778-1867), built in 1817-18 while he was the incumbent of St. James' Church. Born in Scotland, he came to Upper Canada in 1799 where he achieved prominence as an educator and churchman and was consecrated first Anglican Bishop of Toronto in 1839. He served as a member of the province's Legislative Council 1820-41 and of the Executive Council 1815-36. During the Rebellion of 1837, the Loyalist forces that defeated William Lyon Mackenzie near Montgomery's Tavern assembled on the grounds of the Palace.
The first Director of the Royal Ontario Museum of Palaeontology, Parks was born in Hamilton and educated at the University of Toronto, from which he received a Doctorate in 1900. Initially known as an expert on "stromatoporoids", a unique group of invertebrate fossils, he later turned his attention to the study of vertebrate palaeontology. The expeditions Parks organized to the Canadian and American West between 1918 and 1935 provided most of the material for the Museum's extensive world-recognized dinosaur collection. As Professor and, from 1922-35, Head of Geology Department at the University of Toronto he taught geology and palaeontology and produced many publications, notable among them being his authoritative five-volume guide, "The Building and Ornamental Stones of Canada”.
Born in Exeter, Huron County, this renowned archaeologist, teacher and administrator was educated locally and in Toronto. Completing his studies at Victoria College, he received his B.A. from the University of Toronto in 1898 and his M.A. in 1901. While in London, England, he met the famous Egyptologist, Flinders Petrie, and accompanied him to Egypt. His work in various parts of the Mediterranean world inspired him with the idea of establishing an archaeological museum in Ontario. With the aid of the University of Toronto, he worked toward this goal and when the Royal Ontario Museum of Archaeology was created in 1912, Currelly became its first director. He retained this post, as well as a professorship in archaeology at the University, until his retirement in 1946.

The Erie Canal tied together western New York and became a conduit for ideas as well as for commerce. 
Built before 1860, this building began as the E.A. DuPuy & Co. Mill & Distillery. Over the years, it has also served as a storage warehouse for the railroad and for a furniture company. It is currently home to an art galley called Banana Tree Studios.
The building was purchased by the Gorman Construction Company in 1952 and served as its office and following a merger was home to the Kentucky Stone Company. The building was sold in 1974 to its current occupant, The Farmers Home Mutual Aid Association of Fleming County.
The opening of the Erie Canal had a huge economic impact on the citizens of New York State. Producers could afford to ship products to previously inaccessible markets at a cost that dropped from $100.00 per ton (by wagon) to just a few dollars. Along its route, land values doubled and villages seemed to spring up almost overnight.
