(The road is the eastern portion of First Street Monticello). It sat where the Mathiessen DX station was that now belongs to Nick Sauser. There was another hostelry at the village of Richland, where we excavated the small brick Church/school house. There was two there from what I understand, one was a house on the north side of the road, we were going to excavate it, but it had been burned and bull dozed, it still had raw sewage from a septic system in the ground so for health and safety reasons we abandoned the excavation. I believe there was another hostelry on the south side of the road, but exact where abouts are unknown. If you are looking for others who inhabitated the Bowen's Prairie "district" you should try the protestant cemetery in Cascade. You will find lots of interesting folks who lived and traveled the Military road. Recently the stage stop in Fairview finally fell in enough someone decided it was time to burn the remains so it is gone now as well. It was situated south of the Rainbow Inn as you started to come up the rise on your immediate left, just past the small pasture. Doug,
