The Mayhoffer Farm near Lafayette was homesteaded in 1870 by David Kerr. In the farm's early days the Kerrs sold milk and butter in Central City, and even sold coal mining rights. The farm was passed on to David Kerr's daughter, Leannah, who married John Mayhoffer. Their grandchildren, John, David and Robert Mayhoffer now own and operate the farm raising corn, beans and hay. There are several historic structures still in use on the farm including the beautiful main farmhouse dating to 1889.
