NOTES
Additional Information:2023: Plat maps and atlases of Vernon County indicate the property was that of Anton Nelson and was constructed between 1878 and 1896. The Anton Nelson Farmstead stands along Knapp Valley Road in the vicinity of an earlier saw mill in Section 30 of the Town of Clinton, Vernon County. As it stands, the farmstead consists of a log house (72152), log barn (72153), and frame barn (246181). The frame barn was constructed circa 1900. It is a rectangular plan gable roofed agricultural building constructed south of Knapp Valley Road on the west side of a small field opposite the log barn. The barn stands at grade with walls clad in vertical wood plank. Vehicular entrances are centered in the north and south gable end walls.
