Elmwood was built in 1985 by C.A.M. Spencer, the state's 2nd attorney general. The house features fine art glass & birdseye maple & oak woodwork. Elmwood boasts a one -of-a-kind carved staircase. In the middle of the 20th century, Luther and Mary Nancy Williamson, owners of one of ND's last independent milk companies, bought Elmwood and had it registered in the National Register of Historic Places. In1986 Williamsons donated the property to the ND Parks and Rec Dept. Grafton Parks and Recreation acquired Elmwood in 2007.
