The Stoppel Farmstead

Constructed in the mid 19th century and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the George Stoppel Farmstead has stood largely unchanged for over 150 years.

Built by German immigrants George and Maria Stoppel, each of the core structures of this farmstead tell a unique story. From the barn with its 50 foot high ceiling, to the house constructed from local limestone, to the smokehouse, a wholly unique multi-purpose structure, this property is valued by the History Center for the stories of agriculture and immigration that it helps to tell.
