Hugh Rogan was born in Ireland in 1747, moving to America in 1775. He was part of the Donelson party that arrived in Nashville in April 1780. In 1784, he sold his Nashville property and bought a farm along Bledsoe Creek in Sumner County. In 1796, he journeyed back to Ireland so that he could relocate his wife and son back here at his two room stone house. The house served as a Mass Station for Catholics for over 50 years.
In 1998, the house was moved to its curent location at Bledsoe's Fort Historical Park. You can look inside the cottage during the yearly Colonial Fair that happens in May.
