Station (frontier defensive structure)
A station was a defensible residence constructed on the American frontier during the late 18th and early 19th century. Many of these structures were built on the Kentucky frontier during the struggle with the British and Native Americans. According to Virginia law, settled land had to be surveyed, a corn crop planted and a dwelling built. On the frontier, this building had to be fortified. The purpose for stations in Kentucky was for protection, since most Native Americans at the time supported the British and often attacked the settlers.
