Peter Weaver Home
An early settler in Tippecanoe County, Peter Weaver was one of the most widely and favorably known of all the early inhabitants. Born in Virginia, 1774, he was married there to Martha Walker. Weaver brought his family west in 1807, settling first in Wayne County, Indiana, then here on the great Wea Plain by 1822. The building of this two-story brick home, begun about 1823, was interrupted by Martha's death in 1825 and not completed until 1828. It became a favorite stopping place for early settlers, traders and travelers. Weaver was a 1st Lt. in the War of 1812 and a County Commissioner, 1830-1832. He died in 1863 at 89 years of age.
