Named for James Wolcott, a prosperous businessman during the late 1820s to the mid 1840s, only the Wolcott House is original to the site. Built by James Wolcott and his wife, Mary Wells, the Wolcott House began as a log house and evolved into a beautiful 14-room Federal-style mansion between the years 1827 and 1836.
Maumee, the Foot of the Rapids of the Maumee River, was an important transshipment point serving Indian, French, English and American traders throughout the 19th century. The Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1795 secured the Northwest Territory for the settlement, and a lively river trade developed in the years following the War of 1812.
