The John O'Hair family bought the land in 1856 and built the cube-shaped, three-story section of the barn in 1856, along with a humble two-room stone house.

In 1870, A.W. Cook from Illinois, bought the farm. He started with 30 acres and had amassed a total of 600 acres when he died in 1887. The farm became known as the Cook Farm, as he made the farm prosperous raising cattle, grain, and Percheron horses.
