Wardlaw
Wardlaw was located on the Milford Road three miles south of Bee Creek
School House Road and northwest of Milford about five miles. The Addison
Wardlaw farm was located in the hills of this area and were said to have
been a stagecoach stop, or way station. Mail once was brought from
Milford to the Wardlaw farm, and picked up for further distribution. It
is thought that it could have been on the Shawnee Trail that traversed this
area from southwest to northeast.
