This farm was begun in 1902 by Jasper Wilkins, surveyor, farmer and State Legislator from 1870 to 1907, and second son of Coburg pioneer Mitchell Wilkins. The orchard was planted first, one end of the present barn and then the house. Jasper, wife Clair Wilda Seavy and children, moved in Thanksgiving Day 1903. The front door faces West and was approached on a walking path extending east from Van Duyn Street. The large maples were in the front yard. Jasper died in 1907 and Clair married cattleman Douglas Wassom in 1910. Soon after daughter Grace married horse trainer Bill Clark and after living on the farm until 1913 moved to California. They returned in 1953. Clair Wilkins-Wassom died in 1969; Grace lived in the house until she died in July 1984.
