The Jethro Wood House is a historic house on Poplar Ridge Road, in a rural area west of the hamlet of Poplar Ridge in the town of Ledyard, New York. Built by 1800, it was the home of inventor Jethro Wood (1774–1834), whose 1819 invention of an iron moldboard plow revolutionized American agriculture. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964.[2][3] It is a private residence, and is not normally open to the public.
