More than 50 families lived outside the walls of the Fort, however, during times of Indian raids families moved inside the Fort for protection. The docents provided an accurate depiction of Fort life during this era.

The Fort was named for the Prickett Family. In 1774 they lived in this area with their 11 children. As the family grew they moved West to Ohio and Illinois.
