In 1916 Atley Bensen paid $1200 for the lumber to build this house for his wife Clara Christensen. They were pioneer families of the town of Grant. This “cracker” house was donated to the Grant Historical Society in 1984. It was moved from its original site (approximately 300 feet south of 1st Street on the river bank) to this location in 1985. This location was the original site of Grant’s first house built in 1894 by “Honey” Smith, which burned down in the 1970’s. The Bensen House became a museum in 1987.
Permission for placement of this geocache was granted by the Grant Historical Society & Colleen Hribal.
