Originally belonged to the Blacksmith of what was known as the Hadley Township at the time... My Dad's parents purchased this property ("Hollingsworth Farms" est. 1956) for his dad's mother and her brother to live at. Her brother was the last to pass in 1980, my Dad then moved into the home. I was born in 1983 and now, 30 years later, my husband and I (4-G Horseshoeing est. 2013) reside here with our children ("Hollingsworth Farms - Our Sacred Haven" est. 2017). Bet this place never thought it would see another Blacksmith inside these old walls!! Someday, my children will take over, but before I go I'd like to see a sign out front that reads "Missouri Century Farm"!!!
