The house is notable for its association with the Laurel Hill Stock Farm, a livestock farm founded in the 1830s by Thomas Johnson, which was later inherited by his son, James P. Johnson, in 1853. During the 1850s the farm was expanded to over 500 acres and is listed as one of the most successful farms in the county in the 1886 Goodspeed History.[2]
