Community Gardener Discovers Roots at 21 Acres

early homestead

21 Acres Community Gardener, Dan Henderson, recently discovered his ancestors were possibly the original homesteaders of the 21 Acres property. Dan's great great grandfather, Arthur Llewellen Calkins, purchased 160 acres betwe 1878 and 1880 for ten whole dollars! He deeded it to his son, TL Calkins (Theodore) in 1928. Dan's grandmother, Inez Calkins from Big Lake, recently died at the age of 95. (Information provided by Dan Henderson and Jim Kraft, Woodinville Heritage Society.)
