The Land Grant for this property was awarded in 1835 to James Bruce. In 1874, 18-year-old Edward Harrison Peck moved from New York and bought this farmland eventually totaling 80 acres. The property crossed both the Red Run Creek and Chicago Road. The name "Village View Farm" appeared on the barn as it bordered the Village. The original farm house burned in 1925.

E.H. Peck became a prominent citizen of Warren, serving as Township Treasurer twice, 1899-1902 & 1909-1911. Mr. Peck's son, Eldred E. Peck, continued to farm the land after his death in 1941.
