Abstract:

The Nick Dalton House in Stokes County fed and lodged travelers of the nearby stage line. The house was nicknamed The Halfway House. In 1840, Dalton bought 3,000 acres of land to farm tobacco, build a flour mill, distillery, and a large general store. The success of the house along with the new business enterprises made Dalton a wealthy man and secured the same future for his children.
