A few miles east of Plymouth, in the small town of Roper, we came across this old house. A marker beside the road reads:
Harrison-Blount House
circa 1835.
Located on Kendricks Creek
in a lovely setting
of moss-draped cypress trees
in Lees Mill
The Washington County courthouse was in Lees Mill until it was moved to Plymouth in 1823. Around 1889 the name of Lees Mill was changed to Roper in honor of John L. Roper who brought the Norfolk and Southern Railroad to Washington County.
