Wilkins Farm, Historic farmstead in Shenandoah County, United States.
The Wilkins Farm property features a two-story log structure with limestone foundations and hardwood elements, located at 989 Swover Creek Road near Edinburg.
Originally built around 1776 as a simple log cabin by Augustine Cofman, the farm expanded into a larger Federal-style structure by 1789 to meet land grant requirements.
The property holds significance as the childhood residence of Emanuel Wilkins, a distinguished fraktur artist who contributed to the German-American cultural traditions.
Researchers and history enthusiasts can access detailed records about Wilkins Farm through the National Archives and Virginia state historic preservation offices.
The farm demonstrates German settlement construction methods through its use of native materials, including locally sourced limestone, hardwoods, and Yellow pine.
