Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Atkins-Johnson Farm

This house is one of the oldest continuously lived in homes in Clay county. The house was built between 1824 and 1830 and was occupied until 2004. John Hightower built the original two story log home. He sold it to Jonathan Atkins in 1830. In 1833, Jonathan gave one acre to Big Shoal Church. Jonathan expanded the house into an I-frame between 1850 and 1860. It was sold in 1904 to Rudolph Schroeder, then in 1920 to Mary Johnson. Natural gas was installed in the 1950's. An indoor bathroom was added in the early 1960's. The kitchen was the last addition to the house. The house is now on the National Register of Historic Places.

Permission given by Friends of Atkins-Johnson Farm and Gladstone Parks & Rec. And they are aware that the cache is now on the other side of No Trespassing sign.
