Zachariah Hallock House History
Following the Puritan tradition of carving out a piece of the Hallock farm for male heirs of marrying age begun by his grandfather, Capt. Zachariah Hallock, Isaiah Hallock built a farmhouse on this spot around 1832. It burned to the ground in 1915.
In the mid 1920s Konstanty and Adela (Lipnicka) Cichanowicz (both born in Poland) bought the 35-acre farm consisting of the Little Hallock House east of the current Cich farm garage, the circa 1832 Isaiah Hallock barn and various outbuildings.

Visitors, as they go through the house, may want to think about how this house that belonged to first-generation Polish immigrants differed from the homes of neighboring farmers whose families had been on the North Fork for many generations.
