Town Approves Purchase of Parsons Homestead in Springs
The Julius D. Parsons Homestead, nearly 11 acres in Springs, includes the 1880 farmhouse of Julius Dayton Parsons, who also ran the Springs General Store, a circa-1880 two-story barn, a small family cemetery, and a cottage that was moved from the other side of the road, which an 1873 atlas identified as the residence of Henry Mitchell, believed to have been part Native American.
