August Pickering piloted the first commercial ship into Chicago harbor in 1834. His family home, adjacent to the War of 1812 battlegrounds, reflects the early 19th-century charming rural architecture prevalent on New York State's northern frontier.

Built around 1808 by Samuel F. Hooker, the Hooker House is one of the few buildings remaining in Sackets Harbor from the pre- "War of 1812" era. Hooker was an early and prosperous merchant in Sackets Harbor, from a prominent New England family. The Hooker family played a key role in the settlement of the Massachusetts Bay and Connecticut colonies as well as Jefferson County. Hooker came to Sackets Harbor in 1808 with $20,000 in goods which he sold within two months. He became a permanent resident of the Village two years later and continued to prosper as a merchant during and after the War of 1812.
