In the family since 1838, the acre- age is still owned by members of the Conklin family.
Supposedly, the house is on some type of registery in the town seat, but I’ve never been
able to prove that. I was told that Dad signed the papers in the 1980’s for its inclusion in
the registry on the basis of its being the first double home built in the township. Be sure to
see Grandmother’s 1897 Diary where she tells about its construction.
