Crabill Homestead is on the National Register of Historic Places. It on the west shore of the reservoir in Buck Creek State Park.[5] The homestead was settled in 1813 by David and Barbara Crabill who arrived in the area on a Conestoga Wagon from Virginia. The home is a two story Federal style house that is surrounded by various outbuildings. It was slated be demolished with the construction of the dam. Instead the Clark County Historical Society acquired the property and painstakingly restored and preserved the homestead having it open to public from 1975-2007. In 2010, the homestead was acquired by George Rogers Clark Heritage Association of Clark County, and will again be opened to the public for tours, historical lectures, meetings, banquets, and weddings, beginning Spring 2011.
