Kentucky native Adam
Rankin Johnson
(1834-1927) came to Texas in 1854. After attaining
the rank of brigadier general in the Confederate
Army, Johnson later settled in Burnet county where
he was active in business and civic affairs. In 1882
he donated land for the railroad that carried Burnet
county granite for Texas state capitol. This stone
barn, on the homestead he called "Airy Mount" was
built in the early 1880s and remained in the Johnson
family until 1913. Recorded Texas Historic
