Description and history

A small cemetery about 100 yards to the north marks the site of Zion Lutheran Church (dedicated in 1851) and includes a simple brown fieldstone headstone marked "J.D. June 27, 1828." The house was constructed in 1798 by William Lamar and given to his sister Priscilla and husband James Drane, the first permanent settler in the Accident area. In the late 1980s the house was stabilized and restored through the efforts of the Town of Accident and numerous local volunteers. [2]
