The Wood House is a historic house located east of Cottonwood Falls in Chase County, Kansas. The house was built in the 1860s by politician Samuel Newitt Wood; while its construction date is not certain, Wood's correspondence and real estate advertisements narrow the date to between 1864 and 1869. Wood was a member of the Kansas Territorial Legislature before Kansas statehood and both the Kansas Senate and Kansas House of Representatives afterwards; he was known for his support of the Free State cause, which opposed slavery in Kansas. He also served as Chase County attorney and pursued several local business ventures, including publishing the county's first newspaper. Wood sold the farm in 1874 and moved westward; he was ultimately killed in 1891 during the Stevens County seat war. The house passed to the Cartter family, who owned it through the 1930s. [2]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 17, 1974. [1]

Salmon P. Chase Birthplace was the birthplace and childhood home of Salmon P. Chase. It is located about 8 miles (13 km) north of Claremont on New Hampshire Route 12A. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1790, and is a multi-section structure in an L shape. The main block is five bays wide and two deep, with a centered entry that has Greek Revival pilasters on the central entry and on the corners. This block faces west, and two narrower sections extend east from the rear. The first of these sections is also 2+1⁄2 stories, with two chimneys. The easternmost section is 1+1⁄2 stories, and was originally connected to a barn. The house is believed to be well-preserved, but there is no documentary evidence of its appearance in the early 19th century, and it is known to have been moved across the street from its original site in about 1848.
