Noble Stuart began his carvings there in 1944, the year he married Nettie Worden, Hiram Worden's daughter. The artist inherited the homestead in 1946. Early sources incorrectly cited Hiram Worden and his son Frank, a stone sculptor and monument maker, as the creators of the reliefs. Cleveland Metroparks purchased the Worden Ledges in 1960 and the remainder of the Worden Homestead in 1984. The Worden Heritage Homestead became home to the Hinckley Historical Society in 1988.
