The Gray/Campbell Farmstead, situated in Nathanael Greene Park on South Scenic in Springfield, MO, stands as one of the oldest houses in the area. Dating back to the mid-19th century, this historical site features a variety of buildings, including a house constructed in 1856, a log kitchen from the 1840s, a two-crib barn, a log granary, and a one-room schoolhouse built in 1895.
Originally built by James Price Gray and later acquired by John Polk Campbell, the house has been a part of the Gray and Campbell families from the mid-1800s until the 1950s. Transported to Nathanael Greene Park in the 1980s, the Farmstead offers visitors a glimpse into the past, showcasing the architectural and historical significance of the region.
Open daily for grounds exploration and specific weekend hours for building tours during select months, the Gray/Campbell Farmstead relies on volunteers to maintain its operations. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the tranquil ambiance of the 1860s prairie by contributing as volunteers and supporting the preservation of this cherished historical landmark.
