The James Kinney Farmstead, also known as Country Mile Farm, is located 4 miles (6.4 km) southeast of Belmont, Ohio on SR 147. The 57-acre (23 ha) property was placed on the National Register on 1999-04-29 and is only one of four farmsteads placed on the Register.
The property was bought by James Kinney in 1852 from John Franz. The property contained a simple log structure which once stood close to the present house.[2] The house was built in 1863 and is largely the same as it was when first constructed. This property once served as a drove station and saw hundreds of drovers and livestock passing the house. The property was purchased in 1957 by the late Floyd Simpson and is currently undergoing restoration by his sons.
