About Atkins-Johnson Farm & Museum

The farmhouse began as a one-room log cabin and later grew into a two-story home. Visitors can explore the grounds, walk a trail to the historic Big Shoal Cemetery, and watch for wildlife along the way. The museum rotates its local history exhibits each season, and the heirloom garden shows what is growing. Seasonal produce such as sunflowers, pumpkins, and sweet corn is grown on site, and a museum store sells local gifts. Volunteer and membership options are available through the Friends group.
