General information
Located directly north of the Franklin County Fairgrounds, the Harriman-Nielsen Historic Farm contains the fascinating history of a pioneer doctor, an early blacksmith, and an immigrant Danish farm family. The farm, consisting of twenty acres of land, a house built in 1881 and the original dairy barn, were given to the Franklin County Historical Society by Nielsine Nielsen, the last surviving daughter of the Danish farm family. Her will indicated that should the Historical Society not accept her gift, which in addition to the farm, included the "little house" located across the street from the farm, the entire gift would be given to Grandview College. Prior to her death, Nielsine completed the research and application necessary to have the house placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
