Elm Spring Farm

Elm Spring Farm is a historic home and farm located in Jefferson Township, Morgan County, Indiana. The farmhouse was built about 1844, and is a 1 1/2-story, single pen log dwelling with a frame kitchen addition. Also on the property are the contributing single corn crib converted to a garage, second single corn crib, privy, brick outdoor fireplace, spring, and sandstone abutments for two absent foot bridges. The building represents an assemblage of pioneer log buildings. During the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps was hired to reforest the farm.
