General Info
Situated in a four acre park, the 1871 home was constructed by the Florence family and occupied by them for over 100 years. The homestead was enlarged by the 1890’s, when the Florence Ranch covered 730 acres. They farmed the rich blackland prairie and were later known for their prized Percheron horses and Hampshire sheep. Elaborate wood trimmed porches of the simple structure greet visitors today. Open each Friday, and on the second Saturday of the month.Situated in a four acre park, the 1871 home was constructed by the Florence family and occupied by them for over 100 years.
