Inscription. Caleb Baldwin moved here from New York. He settled the land at Lackland and Woodson. His first home burned in 1866 and shortly thereafter, a new home was built. Caleb's son, Oscar P. Baldwin, was born here in 1870, and was the first land dealer in the area. The home was razed in 1950. An Indian burial ground was located just south of the property.
