The John M. Duncan House is a historic house located half a mile south of Winterset, Iowa.

Description and history

Duncan acquired this land from Canada Fink in 1866, and the house was built sometime after that. It is an early example of a vernacular limestone farmhouse. The house is a single-story, one-room structure with a raised basement. The exterior is composed of large rubble stone laid in an uncoursed broken bond that gives it a wave-like appearance. [2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 1987. [1]

Duncan Farm (Grafton, Illinois) United States historic place

Duncan Farm is an archaeological site located on a farmstead south of Illinois Route 100 in Jersey County, Illinois, near the city of Grafton. The site, which dates from the Woodland period, includes two burial mounds and a habitation site. The site was part of the Hopewell exchange system in Illinois and is the closest neighboring village site to the Golden Eagle regional transaction center, a major trade and social hub in the system. Archaeologists have suggested that the site is a local transaction center in the Golden Eagle site's region due to its two large mounds, which are roughly 200 feet (61 m) long and 100 feet (30 m) wide each. In addition, the site is archaeologically significant due to its distinctive stratification, which allows its artifacts to be easily dated.
