The Hetherington Homestead was built on land owned by Richard Hetherington (1799-1890). This house was built by Thomas Thorne Hetherington (1830-1913) and passed to his son Charles Arthur Hetherington (1876-1941). The house was later purchased in 1941 by his nephew Arthur Palmerston Hetherington (1911-1999) and his wife Dorothy (Robinson) (1914-1995). In June of 1976, Pally and Dorothy decided to convert the swamp in the back of the barn into a pond, which would serve as a water source in case of fire. During the summer of 1977, Hazen Pugsley (1920-2009) completed the grading around the new pond and bulldozed the brush field around the shore. He also dug a large hole and buried the old hog house.
