Bohne-Seely farm house in Mt. Pleasant area. Lisa Monig--Courtesy. "Bohne-Seely farm house named to State Register of Historic Sites"- The Bohne-Seely farmhouse two miles north of Mt. Pleasant on Highway 89 was one of four sites named to the State Register of Historic Sites at the last meeting of the Governor's Historic and Cultural Sites Review Committee on July 26. The home was built in 1886 four years after Henry M. Bohne homesteaded the property. Christian Olsen and a Mr. Christopherson were the stone masons. The Sanpete oolite limestone used in the construction, reportedly came from the Manti Temple quarry. In the 1890's Bohne abandoned the property and went to Canada. The property was deeded to William H. Seely in 1898 and remained in the Seely family until acquired by its present owner, Orson Lauritzen of L and M Enterprises, in 1967.
