The focus of archaeological investigations at the site was the remains of the farmstead, which consisted of an intact limestone foundation, hearths, and interior cellars. Investigations revealed that the house was constructed around 1820 and had been enlarged several times. By the 1860s, when it was occupied by Union troops, it had at least six rooms. The presence of burned architectural materials, such as nails and window glass, supported the archival research, which indicated that the 18th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry used the house as a hospital from late 1861 until Confederate troops under General John Hunt Morgan burned it on July 17, 1862. Investigations suggested that a portion of the house remained standing after Morgan’s Raid.
Following the US Army's reoccupation of Cynthiana, Union soldiers used the Frazer farm from July 25 to September 2, 1862. A portion of the house served as storage for the 45th Ohio’s Quartermaster. Soldiers burned their supplies as they evacuated Camp Frazer on September 2, 1862.
Many of the artifacts recovered from the site are typical of what would be expected in a Quartermaster’s store. The presence of infantry officer uniform buttons indicated that members of the United States Infantry occupied the site. Arms-related items indicated that the troops were equipped with a variety of small arms, including .32 caliber revolvers, and possibly Model 1816 muskets that may have been modified for percussion ammunition.
