The Pioneer or Halfway House is located in New Lyme Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio. Located midway between Warren and Ashtabula hence the name "halfway house." The foundation was made of 2" x 10" planks laid flat to form a solid wall. The walls are of similar construction and the present stone block foundation was built between 1922 and 1925.
The original owner Was Lyman Peck and then James Kukla.
This house was a station of the Underground Railway. Secret spaces in the house are supposed to have been used as places of concealment for runaway slaves.
