History[]
The property was originally called "Queen Anne Farm" by the owners Mr. and Mrs. John Anderson Bensel between 1903 and 1906. It included a 23-room stone house and stone water tower. The next owners, W. Redmond and Julia Appleton Newbold Cross, called it "Hardscabble House" in 1929. The property was later acquired by the National Park Service in 1975 from their children.[3]
