“One of the best-known Scotch-Irish families who have contributed their full share to the honorable record of that race in the United States are the Ohio McCooks, who acquired a wide reputation during the Civil War as the “Fighting McCooks.””

—Henry Howe
The Fighting McCooks,
Reprinted from The Proceedings of the Scotch-Irish Society of America


Photo of the McCook House This large brick house is a memorial to the "Fighting McCooks," a nickname given to the family because of their military service during the Civil War.

Daniel McCook built this home and his family lived here until 1853. During the Civil War, Daniel's family contributed nine soldiers to the Union cause including 5 generals. Brother John's family contributed 5 officers. Four of Daniel's family including Daniel himself died in the conflict.

The restored house has several period rooms and a large room of exhibits on the McCook family and the Civil War.
