Andersen Farm Division

About

The Andersen Farm Division is a division of three parcels of land that make up the Andersen Farm. The properties consist of three homes and multiple barns and sheds.

History

George Jorgen Andersen was born Nov 14, 1836 in Lystrup, Denmark to Anders and Ane Maria Jeorgensen Sorensen. He converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the age of 14 and moved to Utah soon after. He lived with the Hatch family in Bountiful, Utah, and participated in the Utah War. He moved to Richmond in 1860 and married Mary Ann Angell Davis.

Mary died in 1872 in Richmond. The same year, George married Elva Armina Carson and they had William Andersen a year later. William married Rachel Rozina Knapp in 1896 and they had three children. Their second child, George Henry Andersen, would later inherit the farm. After his death in 1956, the farm was passed to his son who currently owns the farm.

Red Brick Home

The Red Brick home is the oldest home in the farm division and is in the center of all three homes. The home was built in 1916 by William Andersen. The Red Brick Home is located on Plot 1 along the Old Barn and an old Granary.

Wood Home

The Wood Home, located west of the Red Brick Home on Plot 2 was built in 1941 by George H. Andersen and William Andersen. Along with the Wood Home, the Milking Building is located on Plot 2.

Basement Home

The Basement Home is the most unique home in the farm division. The home is east of the Red Brick Home on Plot 3 and was constructed in 1952 by George H. Andersen and his son who currently owns the farm division.
