The George Nelson Frost House is located in rural Cherry Creek, NY and now serves as a country bed and breakfast. == History == The Cherry Creek Inn was built circa 1860 in the Italianate Villa style by George Nelson Frost, a member of the industrious pioneer family of George H. Frost. He was a successful mixed-husbandry farmer who kept horses, cattle and sheep, and also raised multiple varieties of hay, grains and fruits. In keeping with his other eclectic interests, George Nelson Frost was "widely known among lovers of fast horses" in the local racing circuits.〔Shults, Chas. J. ed & pub. Historical and Biographical Sketch of Cherry Creek, Chautauqua County, New York, Apr. 1900〕 His peers knew Frost to be a man of upright character and entrusted him with considerable sums of town money during the war of the Rebellion, where he was "charged with the duty of expending the same in the employment of men to fill its quotas of soldiers."〔 His father, George H. Frost, was a well-known abolitionist〔 whose 1845 farmhouse in Cherry Creek was a station on the Underground Railroad.〔Conover, Jewel Helen. Nineteenth-Century Houses in Western New York. Albany: State University of New York Press, 1966.〕
