History
John Pulcipher was born in Jefferson County, New York in 1838, the son of Edwin and Matilda Pulcipher. In 1855, he moved with his family to homestead on a farm located across the road from where this house now stands. He married Mary Ann Hoover in 1869; the couple had four children. In 1874, Pucipher purchased the original farm, and in 1883 he built this house for $2000. A summer kitchen addition was constructed in 1895. It was continuously inhabited until 1964, when John's niece Jessie died. It stayed empty until 1999, when Nels Veliquette, a local cherry farmer, purchased the house and surrounding property and began restoration. A modern kitchen addition was constructed, and the house was opened as the Country Hermitage Bed & Breakfast.
