Wigard Avenue House

If you were sent on a scavenger hunt for a Victorian Gothic Revival Farmhouse in the park, you could find one in the Wigard Avenue House tucked in off of Henry Avenue. The scenic farmland that comprises part of Saul High School was historically part of the Johnson farm. Fortunately much of the original architectural fabric of this farmhouse survives just like the land underneath. Today, the Boy Scouts of America lease the building.
