About the area |
Around 1844 the husband of the sister of General Ulysses S. Grant's father built a mansion for her on Kelly Creek and named it Cedar Grove. During the coal boom a town grew around the mansion and took the name of the mansion. The home has been restored and today operates as a bed and breakfast and is listed on the list of National Historic places. At one time Kelly's Creek railroad ran five miles from Cedar Grove to Mammoth and Kelly's Creek South Western Railroad ran about two and a half miles from Cedar Grove to Ward. These railways were branch roads of larger railroads and also served as coal roads.
