Historic Yorktown

Hallock Farmhouse
circa 1765

This pre-Revolutionary farm house and barn was sold by the Skinners (they had secured it by will through Stephanus Van Cortlandt’s daughter Elizabeth) to Michael McKeel. Later, it was sold to J. B. Hallock. Agnes O’Rourke, the owner in 1976, acquired the house from J.B. Hallock's descendants.

Originally built prior to 1765, by local artisans, the house has been continually, for over 200 years, a residence of Crompond then Yorktown citizens. Michael McKeel has been identified by the historian Kim as one of the Whigs living in the manor. The building abuts the famous Andre/Rochambeau route, and the Washington Rochambeau route identified by national authority.
