The Evergreen Corner Rural Historic District in Haxtun, Colorado, is a 160-acre (0.65 km2) farm property, a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1][2]
History
Swedish immigrant Gustav Lindholm homesteaded the property in March 1887 but died in July 1887. Henry A. Flaker, of Nebraska, bought the land in 1917 and built a barn, a house, and a tankhouse, and planted evergreens to shelter it, naming it Evergreen Corner. Flaker's farm produced winter wheat and hogs. Lawrence Heermann bought the farm in 1946 and farmed wheat and beef cattle.[2]
According to the NRHP nomination, the district "is an excellent example of a Phillips County farmstead; a working landscape that illustrates the development of agriculture from the 1910s through the 1960s."[2]: 3
As of 2013, the district included four contributing buildings, 11 contributing structures, one contributing site, and two contributing objects, as well as eight non-contributing resources.[2]
