Visiting the battlefield--KOLB HOUSE
This log house, built about 1836 by a pioneer settler, Peter Valentine Kolb, is the only surviving structure of about a dozen farms, mills and churches existing within the park at the time of the Civil War.
The house sustained light damage during the Battle of Kolb's Farm, June 22, 1864. It was possibly the headquarters of Union Major General Joseph Hooker.
Altered considerably following the war, the Kolb House was restored to its historic appearance in 1964. It is a government quarters and is not open to the public.(nps)
