Historic sites

• Travelers Rest Travelers Rest is located on U.S Route 50, west of Burlington in Mineral County. It was built for the wagon trains going west and would house the travelers in a large rock house, and feed and water the horses before going over the mountains. Nowadays, it is better known as the "Stone House".

Mr. John T. McDowell (born 1870) and Mr. Luke Markwood, saw a need for a place of worship. Mr. Markwood donated the land upon which was built a Church and a School, therefore giving the community the name of Markwood.
