Needless to say, I was thrilled to find an expansive property, with many signs of American settlers and historic wagon trails. I was surprised at how much historical information was available about the property and how well preserved it was. In 1894, Patrick and Margaret Lucas paid $10 for this 160-acre homestead. For nearly 50 years they lived and worked here, raising a family of eight children and building many structures that continue to give us clues and inspire stories about life on a historic western homestead. ​ ^ Read More in the link above ^ Keep Up-To-Date with Me Here: derelictdoug.net Or Follow Me On Twitter: twitter.com/Derlict_doug
