History
Carskadon Mansion was the home of Thomas R. Carskadon, a vice-presidential candidate in 1892 who was considered radical for his modern ideas on farming, politics, his inventions, and life in general. The house had plumbing and conveniences ahead of its time, and Carskadon built the first silo in the eastern United States for his farm. The home dates to the pre-Civil War era.
