Just outside of Fairbury is this small acre property that packs a tremendous punch! The terrain of these 40 acres makes it walk much larger than what it is. The deep draws are filled with mature timber and the ridge lines are packed thick with cedars that provide great cover for the resident deer population. Among the timber, you’ll find abundant deer sign. There are a tremendous amount of rubs and scrapes right now and trail camera pictures will be posted soon. For those interested in more than just the hunting value of this property, this piece also holds some historic significance. The Smith Limekiln lies adjacent to the property. In the 1870’s Woral C. Smith erected the kiln and house where limestone was burned in the kiln to produce lime for mortar and whitewash. Prior to the Smith kiln, there was a government kiln erected nearby which housed roughly 150 soldiers and the stockades to support them. In July of 1848, the fort was attacked and there was a total of 50 casualties who were buried north of the kiln in temporarily marked graves. As you can see, this property has a lot of offer people of various interests and is worth a look!
