The Tucker Station was established in 1792 when Henry Tucker built a blockhouse in the northwest corner of Springfield Township. This became known as Fort Tucker and/or Tucker Station and was located between Marion and Skillman Roads in Woodlawn beside the railroad track. In 1798, the Springfield Baptist Church was established. A cemetery was located by the church. Per the "History of the Springfield and Lockland Baptist Churches" by J. H. Tangeman, from the Miami Baptist Association Minutes 1875, the church moved from Springfield Township to Lockland in 1840 and became the Lockland Baptist Church. In 1962, the church moved to Glendale-Milford Road in Glendale, Ohio, and became the Landmark Baptist Temple. The original cemetery was not moved when the church moved in 1842 and is now extinct. In the past, some tombstones from the original cemetery were in the possession of the Landmark Baptist Temple.



A historical marker near the site reads:

"Anthony Wayne Parkway

Tucker's Station

In the year 1792, Henry Tucker started clearing land and erecting a Station House on the old Indian Trace in what is now the village of Woodlawn. He had purchased the land from John Cleves Symmes for two dollars per acre. Fear of Indian attack drove the pioneers back to Columbia where they remained until General Anthony Wayne started his march north to engage the Indians in battle.

Henry and Mary Tucker returned to this farm in 1794. The Station House was completed and was to be used as a fort in case of Indian attack.

Worship services were conducted in the Station House and later in neighboring cabins. The result was the organization of the Springfield Baptist Church in 1798, now known as Landmark Baptist Temple.

The Tuckers are buried not far from this point in the rich soil from which they helped carve an empire.

This marker is erected to the memory of Henry and Mary Tucker who were among the first settlers of Ohio."
