Historical map and illustration of Turkey Flight Manor property circa 1864 at Turkey Flight Event Center

The circa 1864 battle map also depicts a cluster of four buildings labeled “Hinkle” and “Toll-gate,” located immediately west of the Folk property and Evitts Creek. Formerly known as Turkey Flight Manor, the Hinkle property was operated as an inn and owned by Jesse Hinkle, who possibly also operated the turnpike toll nearby. Turkey Flight Manor was named for the “Turkey Flight,” a 260-acre patent granted in the 1740s. In 1819, Jacob Hoblitzell purchased a portion of Turkey Flight (with several adjacent parcels including Pleasant Mills) and erected a toll house and tavern to serve drovers and teamsters along the turnpike.’ During the Battle of Folk’s Mill, the property was owned by Jesse Hinkle. The building sustained damage from shelling during the engagement, and afterward reportedly served as a hospital for Union troops.
