Limerock Grange (not open), 9.6 m. (L), is a cream-colored building, a social center, that was once used as a toll-gate house. This section of Lincoln is known as Limerock because of its many limestone deposits. Farming is carried on in the fertile valleys between stone outcroppings. A majority of the residents are of native stock.
