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.

  • 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 home, often called a station, but could be called a fort in other regions, was usually built of logs and were supplied only while hostilities were continuing. Families often maintained a station and visitors were always welcome, since in numbers there was strength. Veterans were given land grants after the American Revolution, and many built a station to secure the area. The purpose for stations in Kentucky was for protection, since most Native Americans at the time supported the British and often attacked the settlers. (en)
  • Una stazione difensiva era una residenza difendibile costruita sulla frontiera americana durante la fine del XVIII e l'inizio del XIX secolo. Molte di queste strutture furono costruite sulla frontiera del Kentucky durante la lotta tra i britannici e nativi. Secondo la legge della Virginia, le terre dovevano inoltre essere colonizzate, dove doveva essere coltivato del mais e doveva essere costruita una dimora. Sulla frontiera, questo edificio doveva essere fortificato come una casatorre. L'edificio, spesso chiamato come stazione difensiva, ma poteva anche essere chiamato forte in altre regioni, di solito era costruito da tronchi che furono forniti solamente finché le ostilità continuarono. Le varie famiglie spesso mantennero la propria stazione dove i visitatori erano sempre i benvenuti, dal momento che in zona la mano d'opera scarseggiava. Ai veterani furono concesse alcune sovvenzioni per la coltvazioni solo dopo la rivoluzione americana, e molti costruirono una stazione per assicurarsi la zona. Lo scopo per le stazioni difensive nel Kentucky era la protezione, dato che la maggior parte dei nativi all'epoca sostenevano gli inglesi e spesso attaccando i coloni. (it)
