The cutting through of a new section of Wild Horse Creek Road off of the old Olive Street Road, which began its life as a plank road, has opened up new pieces of land for development out in Chesterfield. The clearing of trees has revealed an old farmhouse and two barns, which county assessor records list as being built in 1917. I don’t know if they’re that recent. Much of the land out this way was once farmed, but due to the poor soil, was allowed to grow back as forest.
