The Gray/Campbell Farmstead is one of the oldest houses still standing in Springfield, MO. It is located in Nathanael Greene Park on South Scenic. A collection of buildings includes a house (1856), a log kitchen (1840s), a two-crib barn, a log granary, and a one-room schoolhouse (1895). James Price Gray built the house and later sold it to his brother-in-law, John Polk Campbell, the nephew and namesake of the founder of Springfield. The Gray and Campbell families occupied the house from 1856 to the 1950s, which was then moved to Nathanael Greene Park in the 1980s.
