Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NRHP Appleyard, also known as the Alexander C. Stevenson Farm, is a historic farm located on the south side of State Road 240 Шаблон:Convert east of Greencastle in Putnam County, Indiana.[1][2] The farm was the home of Alexander Campbell Stevenson, an Indiana politician and agriculturalist. Stevenson founded the farm in 1843 while serving in the Indiana House of Representatives; he later served as speaker of the assembly. Stevenson bred shorthorn cattle and merino sheep on his farm using modern methods and became a prominent agricultural expert in Indiana. As a result of his efforts, Stevenson was appointed to Indiana's first State Board of Agriculture in 1851; during his tenure on the board, he helped establish the Indiana State Fair. Stevenson later served as president of the Indiana Shorthorn Breeders Association and the American Shorthorn Breeders Association.[2]

The farm includes four contributing buildings; a Greek Revival farmhouse, a carriage house, a barn, and a well house.

The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1990.[3] It was also listed on the Indiana state historic register. It was removed from the National Register on August 18, 2014.[4]
