Regarding Heck-Hasler House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The land was deeded to Joseph Dupree by the United States of America in 1832 as signed by President Andrew Jackson and passed down to his daughter PartheniaPowers and her husband William Cutsinger. Peter Heck, 29, and his wife Jane, 24, came from Shelby County, Indiana with his parents Daniel, 66, and Nelly, 54, and four young children 4, 3, 2, and 2 months in 1860, purchasing the land from the Cutsingers who moved their operations to Edinburgh. All tax records from 1868-1872 are missing from the Johnson County Courthouse so an exact date of construction is impossible. The tax assessment shown in 1873 is four times greater than that shown in 1865, the date of the land purchase.

Mr. Heck established himself in the business of breeding and trading cattle as well as farming. Peter and Jane raised twelve children, some of whom also farmed in this area. Ownership of the home remained in the Heck family for 68 years passing to Fred and Elsie Parsley who also were farmers.
In 1975 Fred Ramsey purchased the home from the Parsley family and restored and updated it. In 1994, Vie and Karen Cochran Hasler purchased the home.
