Ten Mile House, also known as the Stagecoach House, was built in the 1830's and belonged to the Archibald McHenry family.  The house was ten miles from the town of Little Rock,, which is why it was called Ten Mile House. It was a stagecoach layover on the road to Little Rock 

During the Civil War, General Frederick Steele's Union Army occupied Little Rock and used the house as military headquarters.  Confederate soldiers were held there as prisoners. David O. Dodd, Arkansas' youngest Confederate hero, was captured by Federal troops in the woods surrounding the house.  He was charged and convicted of spying and held prisoner there before he was hung on January 8, 1864   His trial and hanging took place in Little Rock, and he is buried at Mount Holly Cemetery. 

Ten Mile House has gathered many ghostly legends over the years.  People have regularly reported hearing unexplained voices, eerie singing, and seeing floating spirits.  One young woman who lived at the house many years ago said the ghost of David O. Dodd would come and sit among the logs of the fireplace and talk to her.  Another legend is that on the stroke of midnight on moonlit nights, the ghost of an old woman rises from behind the well house and floats over the rooftop.
