“built back in 1814”

The Bed and Breakfast portion of Goodwin House was built for Dr. Erastus Goodwin in about 1828.  Tax records show that Dr. Goodwin owned this land since about 1811.  He purchased the land from William Law, who was one of the Partners in the original Connecticut Land Company.  It is believed that Dr. Goodwin built the first house in or before 1814, the year he married. That portion of the house is now the Innkeepers Quarters. Tax records indicate evidence of the larger brick house in 1827 or 1828.  This home has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975.Geauga County is celebrated its bicentennial in 2006.  Geauga County’s first settlement was in Burton in 1798.   An interesting item of Geauga County History is that in March 1823, Dr. Goodwin was one of the men of the jury that convicted Benjamin Wright, Jr. of murdering Zophar Warner. Benjamin Wright’s sentence, to hang by the neck until dead, was carried out on the third Thursday in May. The Painesville Telegraph reported an attendance on Chardon Square of over 4,000 people, including a cavalry, rifle companies, fife and drum corps, out-of-county visitors, and Geaugans.  This has been the only legal capital punishment sentence carried out in Geauga County.
