By 1772, Fincastle had been incorporated. A walk though this town will give the visitor the opportunity to see the many architectural styles dating from the 1770’s and on. The craftsmen in town, early smiths, wagon makers, and saddlers usually lived in houses of built of logs whereas the commercial establishments and houses of the more wealthy were built of brick. The Old Jail, circa 1897, James Matten Early cabin, and the Saddler’s Shop have been restored and anew blacksmith’s shop replaced the old one.
