The Ben Bonderson Farm was established by 1883. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
It included eight contributing buildings and two contributing structures.
The farmhouse of the property is a large white building built in three phases, in 1883, 1895, and 1909. The central portion was built in 1883.[2]
The property has a drive-in T-shaped crib barn which was built in 1915, a brooder house, a wash house, and a chicken house. The property has a gabled granary and a hay barn.[2]
A horse barn once existed but collapsed and was removed.[2]
The original house was built by early settler Jesse Wiggle, who sold the property in 1891 to Swedish-born Ben Bonderson (1862–1943) for $12.00 per acre. Hilda Peterson (1875–1968), born in Sweden, married Bonderson in 1895. The two raised six children while living and working on the farm.[2]
It is a well-preserved family farm with eight buildings and two structures dating back to 1883.[3]
