Notes
  • Significance: In 1903 Milo Olds and his family settled and established a homestead in Mercer County, North Dakota, located on the banks of the Missouri River. Here, they set up a farm and constructed their new family house out of wood. The wood was delivered by riverboat from Washburn. During its construction the Olds' family lived in the farm's granary. Milo Olds' farm economy was based on cattle, grain products and various home industries. In 1915, the Missouri overflowed and the house was moved to a new concrete foundation located 1.5 miles west the Missouri River. A year later Milo Olds became seriously ill and his son Nathan replaced him as manager of the family farm. Eventually, the Olds' farm changed hands and it was obtained by Byron Grannis. Grannis then sold the farm to the National Park Service in 1977. The former Olds Farm was located on an important archeological site at Knife River, Indian Villages National Historical Site. The house was demolished in 1979.
