As the pioneers moved West in the 1800's, they discovered the durability, usefulness, and abundance of the Hickory tree in the Midwest, particularly in Indiana. It wasn't long before furniture builders started crafting furniture from hickory. It is said that a forbearer of the Old Hickory Chair Company made hickory chairs and rockers for President Andrew Jackson's home, the Hermitage. Once Old Hickory Chair Company incorporated in 1899, they were ready with a full line of products to ship. In 1904 the company shipped dinning room chairs to the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park. Those chairs are still in use today at he Inn.
