Cedar Grove, also known as the Amick-Kingsbury House, is a historic home located near Franklin, Howard County, Missouri.
The original one-story Federal style section was built about 1825, with the two-story Greek Revival main house added in 1856.
[2]: 2–4 Located near the northern terminus of the Santa Fe Trail (as noted in the article photo), Cedar Grove was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
A hewn stone retaining wall delimits the edge of the front yard; beyond is a Granite marker noting the route of the Santa Fe trail placed by the Daughters of the American Revolution.
A rock lined cellar underlies the hall and reveals that the floor rests on log sleepers some eighteen inches in diameter.
Heavy hand hewn beams approximately 12" square are mortised together to support this stout structure and all rafters consist of poles with the bark stripped off.
