This is the old Conklin house on Inningwood Road in Ossining, NY. Jacob Chadeayne married Anna Conklin and move into her fathers family homestead after his death. Many generations of Chadeaynes lived here.

A look at the house in 1998 The basement level was the "winter kitchen" and the hub of most activity during the cold, winter months. Living areas are on the 1st floor and bedrooms on the 2nd floor. The small room at the far left was the summer kitchen and was connected to the house later. As the property was used as a dairy farm for many years, a brook was routed through a trough in the basement to cool milk before it was loaded onto the horse-drawn wagons for delivery in town.

Family reunions were, apparently, fairly formal. This poem was written by Mary Conklin for a reunion at Thanksgiving in 1886.
