Monroe Mansion on the move

The Maple Hill Farm, also known as the Monroe Mansion, has been in Jasper County since 1860. It is currently in the process of being moved and is sitting along the highway.

Adam Johnson bought the property last year. He knew that finding a buyer for the house may be difficult.

“I bought the property last March,” Johnson said. “The house deal has been in the works for several months.”
