Poorhouse

So in 1826, the county purchased roughly 80 acres of farmland in, uh, that was a few miles north of Lancaster.

Now, two years later, the Fairfield County Poor House opened, and we've talked about poor houses before.

Mm-hmm.

Um, and I'm not talking about the Poor House in Nashville, that is P-O-U-R House.

Right.

Yeah.

Others entered and never really left.

There were even people who were born there, spent most of their lives there, and then came back and died there.
