Its History
English immigrants, William and Hanna (Moon) Cruit, arrived in Fairfield County in 1829. They constructed this house in Section 24 of Greenfield Township. Jacob and Mary (Bryant) Wagner purchased the home in 1886. It remained in the possession of their descendants through the 19th and 20th centuries. Then, the Reef-Beck family owned and occupied the home for over one hundred years, until 2019 when it was relocated to this site at Smeck Park.
