The house was later an inn and stagecoach stop along the Kaskaskia-Cahokia Trail, the first road in Illinois,[2] which connected the French settlements at Kaskaskia and Cahokia.
In the late 19th century, the Peterstown House became a social hall.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 16, 1977.[1]
