Notes
  • Significance: The substantial house built circa 1844 for George Michael Murrell, merchant and postmaster of Park Hill and Tahlequah, was widely known as the center of genteel society before the Civil War. Murrell's fondness for the hunt, and the frequency with which it was held, gave the house its sobriquet. The style, furnishings, events and atmosphere of the house recalled Murrell's native Virginia and the plantation life in which he was raised, and was unusually luxurious for the predominantly rural area. It was the only grand establishment to survive the Civil War, but was not afterward occupied by the Murrells, who remained in the East after the war.
