Strode's Station was built in 1779 by Capt. John STRODE, grandfather of William Clinkenbeard's (1725-1823) granddaughter-in-law, Sally STRODE, and was located about 2-1/2 miles from Winchester, Clarke Co., Ky., in the Lexington Road, at the northeast corner of the present juncture of Lexington Rd & Clintonville Rd. In 1926, excavations showed the chimney rocks were still there, covered by the sod.
