Located
in Carrollton, Ohio, the McCook House is a memorial to Ohio’s
famous “Fighting McCooks.” This historic house was the home of
Major Daniel McCook, who, with his nine sons and six nephews,
became known as the “Fighting McCooks” because of their
participation in the armed services of their country prior to
and especially during the Civil War.
About 1837,
Daniel McCook erected this large brick house on the southwest
corner of the public square in Carrollton, and it was occupied
by his family until 1848. It was acquired by the state of Ohio
in November 1941 and dedicated on October 10, 1947, as a
memorial to the gallant “Fighting McCooks.”
In 1981, the Carroll County Historical Society began
operating the McCook House on a lease agreement with the
Ohio Historical Society.
A 2006 release of "The Fighting McCooks"
in paperback & hard cover plus many other historic items are for
sale on the first floor of the McCook House.
