Built in 1920, the farmhouse and barn are still standing. Greenhouse has been rebuilt. Smaller barns and hut no longer present. Operated as a nursery for garden plants, herbs and vegetables.

Hi Hasten,
Do you know who built the house?

House has a date of 1920, Joseph Columbus Keller was the owner at that time, and property consisted of 100-120 acres. He died in 1921, and the property passed from wife to daughter, Dora Sheffer. In 1945 the property was sold to Howard Duckworth. By 1969 it passed to his daughter and was split/sold in smaller sections. The Hansen family owned it for nearly 50 years (1972-2019) and ran a successful nursery business for several decades.

Hi siouxh,
Thank you for the history of the building!
