The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States or America, is a country composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions. At 3.8 million square miles, the United States is the world's third or fourth largest country by total area and is slightly smaller than the entire continent of Europe's 3.9 million square miles. With a population of over 327 million people, the U.S. is the third most populous country. The capital is Washington, D.C., and the largest city by population is New York City. Forty-eight states and the capital's federal district are contiguous in North America between Canada and Mexico. The State of Alaska is in the northwest corner of North America, bordered by Canada to the east and across the Bering Strait from Russia to the west. The State of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The U.S. territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, stretching across nine official time zones. The extremely diverse geography, climate, and wildlife of the United States make it one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries.
The house is located at 726 Bradbury Road, Locust Corner vicinity. The house, along with a summer kitchen, barn, smoke house and corn crib are nineteenth century rural buildings, representative of early agricultural practices in southwest Ohio.
Locust Corner is an unincorporated community in Clermont County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.
The farmstead was originally part of the John Knox Survey, #4795. James Knox’s grant #5056 was on “the waters of muddy creek” (Nine Mile), later part of Pierce Township. In 1827, John Gaskins purchased 57 acres including the Gaskins-Malany Farmstead property. He first built a one-room home with loft, adding in 1847 a front addition with two rooms down, and two rooms up. A small general store and saw mill existed on the site as well.
Pierce Township is one of the fourteen townships of Clermont County, Ohio, United States. The 2010 census reported 14,349 people living in the township, 10,968 of whom were in the unincorporated portions of the township.
On August 8th 1885, five years after a narrow gauge railroad connector between New Richmond and Newtown was built by the Cincinnati and Eastern Railway, a trestle collapse occurred in front of the Gaskin-Malany Farmstead (Three Forks). The trestle crossed the creeks connecting the hill to the northwest, where a station for Locust Corner passengers existed, to the hill to the south. The injured and dying were placed on the stone porch. The Cincinnati and Eastern Connector ceased operation after this. [1] [2] [3] [4]
New Richmond, also known as New Richmond on the Ohio, is a village in Ohio and Pierce townships in Clermont County, Ohio, United States, founded in 1814, along the Ohio River. The population was 2,582 at the 2010 census.

The Cincinnati and Eastern Railway was a 3 ft narrow gauge railroad that completed its line from a junction with the Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern Railway north of Cincinnati east to Portsmouth, Ohio in 1884. It began as the Cincinnati, Batavia and Williamsburg Railroad in January 1876, and was renamed in May of the same year. The line was sold at foreclosure in January 1887 to the Ohio and North Western Railroad and the line was converted to 4 ft 8 1⁄2 instandard gauge. In March 1890 it was again foreclosed, passing to the Cincinnati, Portsmouth and Virginia Railroad in June 1891. That company merged into the Norfolk and Western Railway in October 1901. The line is now owned by the Norfolk Southern Railway, with the portion between Clare Yard and Seaman, Ohio currently leased to the Cincinnati Eastern Railroad since April 2014. The rest of the line into Portsmouth, Ohio has been "rail banked" by NS.
In 1947, remodeling occurred inside the farmhouse, and in 1948 an additional wing was added. In 1955, the Malany family made it their home, placing it on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. [5]
