| Additional Information: | The Kemen Farmstead, located at 21810 31st Street in the Town of Brighton, was established by the Kemen family, German immigrants, by the late 1870s and likely earlier. By 1906, ownership of the dairy farm passed to William Kemen, who owned 80 acres and constructed a number of extant farm buildings. In 1912, Kemen constructed a large brick Queen Anne style house on the property. During the 1960s, the Kemen family constructed a small dairying building to the west of the farm property. |
