The Michael Klunk Farmstead is a historic farm located on Crater Creek Road south of Kampsville in Calhoun County, Illinois. The farm consists of a well-preserved house and barn. Michael Klunk, an immigrant from Alsace-Lorraine, established the farm and built the barn in 1830; the north crib of the barn served as a farmhouse until the present house was completed in 1875. The barn is a log double crib barn, while the house has a central hall plan; both designs were common vernacular building types in central and southern Illinois.[2]

The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 23, 1982.[1]
