The Ekart Homestead History

This quaint and rather rustic limestone "3Bay" Federal style homestead, is a true slice of Kansas heritage! In 1878 John Ekart purchased the property and built the stone house. In 1907 John's son Anton built the spring house where his name is still inscribed in the concrete. In 1911 the Irvine brothers George and twins Alex & Dave acquired the property and lived there until the 1930's. The house sat empty for 35 years until 1963 when it was purchased by the McCoy's & restoration commenced. The house was purchased by the Nelsons in 2002 where Dave and Mary Jo have made extensive improvements. Today, it is called "The Irvine Place".
