Summary

Photo caption pages & written data include site plans.
Significance: The Samuel Probst Farm, in the ownership of the Probst family since 1906, is a significant and distinguishable entity as an early 20th century agricultural complex. The farm, including a front gable-and-wing farmhouse, bank barn, summer kitchen, and corn crib, demonstrates early 20th century construction and design techniques and individually, the farm's buildings exhibit architectural integrity. The Probst Farm is architecturally significant as one of the few remaining agricultural complexes in Clinton County dating from the early 20th century that retains a number of associated outbuildings. The Samuel Probst Farm is historically significant as a property which exhibits a continuity of agricultural use from the early 19th century throughout the 20th century. The property known as the Probst Farm today was part of a larger farm begun by Adam Smith in 1803 although no above-ground historic resources remain from that period.
