History of the Jefferson House
The Jefferson House was built in the 1880s by the family of Francis Young. Francis was diagnosed with a lung ailment and the doctors told her family that she needed to live in the healing ozone belt, so they found a spot in Covington and built one the first Acadian style houses in the area.
