## What we know

Harlow Teachout's homestead of spring 1868 in Woodmen Valley: a cabin, a stone barn and a stone icehouse, whose walls still stood in 1976; a stage stop on the Pueblo-Denver road. Late in 1868 the Teachouts built Edgerton House, an inn with a dining room and eight bedrooms where Gen. Palmer sometimes stayed; in the 1870s up to 200 tuberculosis tents stood around it (PPLD record of survey B81). Not the Edgerton station mapped on Academy land; how the two Edgertons relate is open.

## Where it was

'Between railroad tracks and Monument Creek approximately 3500 feet north of the Edmonson Trail Head parking lot (250 E. Woodmen …' (PPLD record of survey photo B81); 400 feet east of the trail in OpenStreetMap, opposite Jenkin Place. Good to a few hundred feet.

Placed from a written description, such as a land section, a distance from a landmark or an old survey note.
