This stone cottage was built by Dabney Jones, an early settler and first justice of the peace of Pike County, in 1817. It may be the oldest frontier-era home still standing in the Ralls/Pike County area.
The property has great visibility from Highway 61......and yet is in a peaceful setting on a dead-end road.
The family of Dabney Jones, who built the original stone cottage in 1817, is buried in the Jones Cemetery about 500 feet up the road.
The property is a short walk or drive to Spencer Creek, a fork of the Salt River.
The bridge is closed so this is currently a dead end road.
Here's a deposition from 1819, signed by William Clark of Lewis & Clark fame....then the governor of the Missouri territory....certifying Dabney Jones as the first justice of the peace in Pike County. This dates from the same time period as the original stone cottage.
From the 1870s to the early 1900s, a "short line" railroad ran right next to this property and even had its own stop. It's listed as "Jones" on this old ticket.
In the late 1920s & early 30s, this property was known as Mineral Springs Park, a popular amusement destination with a dance hall, baseball fields and spring-fed pool!

Residence, hobby farm, wedding venue, agri-tourism destination....you decide!

Also a 3300sf shed with walnut framing, an 8-stall barn with fenced pasture, a 1910 scale house, and a sweet little glazed brick building that was likely once a bath or spring house. And don't forget the original stone cottage built in 1817 by Dabney Jones, an early settler and first justice of the peace in Pike County! Around 1930, this property was also known as Mineral Springs, a popular amusement park with a dance hall, sports fields & spring-fed pool!
