Kipp – Nellis Farm

History
This land was part of the Kipp–Nellis Farm, settled in 1723 by Cornelius and Eva Berdan Kipp. The farm served the Preakness Valley area for 250 years. The farmhouse, located across Nellis Drive, was built circa 1840 by Nicholas and Sophia Berry Kipp. The Kipp family cemetery is located across Valley Road. Jacob and Ella Louise Ostrum Nellis bought the farm from Isaac Blaine in 1903. The high school, town hall, and library are now located on the Nellis Farm.
