Jethro Wood House, Historic residence in Poplar Ridge, New York.
The Jethro Wood House stands as a large two-and-a-half-story wooden structure with clapboard exterior and symmetrical windows around the main entrance point.
The house, built before 1800, became the residence of Jethro Wood, who patented the first cast-iron plow with replaceable parts in 1814.
The property contains an original oil portrait of Jethro Wood and artifacts including a cast iron plow that represent early American agricultural advancement.
Visitors can find the historic house on Poplar Ridge Road in the town of Ledyard, marked by its distinctive gable-roof portico and red entrance door.
The main entrance door maintains its original red paint, which according to local tradition indicated a safe point for travelers in the 19th century.
