John Wood Home - 1877

John Wood, Ellen Smith Wood and their children John Jr., George Henry and Emily lived in Grafton. John was a farmer, raised cattle, worked in a blacksmith shop, made beautiful horse hair ropes and hackamores in his spare time. An historic split rail fence surrounds the property. Ellen died on May 7, 1898. John lived in Grafton until 1909 and died in Hurricane August 4, 1911 at the age of 92.

The property also has two other buildings, a large log barn (1877) and a raised one room log granary (1877).
