                                                              This house was originally located about five miles down CR 698 west of Central Heights.  It was built by William and Susan Hayter who came to Texas in 1842.  Their youngest daughter married into the Sitton family, and the house was donated to Millard’s Crossing by Sam Sitton, who lived on the property until his death.It is a large "dog trot" house with an ample sleeping loft and squared logs.  The logs were later covered with milled timber that has since been removed.  It is not currently open for tours - we are working on restoring this wonderful structure.
