As you approach this historic landmark take note of the many distinctive architectural details this rare home offers. On .66 acres, and part of the original Deerlick Farms, this is one of the properties that began the history of Deerfield. In 1843, the land was developed by Madison O. Caldwell, an early pioneer name in Deerfield for whom Caldwell school is named. The original Deerlick Farms Barn was transformed into living quarters in 1942 and constructed using massive 9 x 9 hand hewn solid oak beams using mortise & tenon joints throughout.
