In 1814 Chauncey Case (1775-1863) moved from Connecticut to Hudson with his wife Cleopatra (1778-1866) and their five children. Upon arrival, they moved into a log house on Lot 17. In 1831, they began constructing a home on the property. Case, who owned a brickyard, made the bricks that would go into the construction of what is claimed to be the first brick house west of Pittsburgh. After Case's death in 1863 the house and its land passed to Case's son Henry (1817-1890) and his wife Mary Lucia Goodman Case (1828-1909). While Henry had ownership of the farm he hired a farm hand by the name of Franklin F. Barlow (1858-1934), who would go on to marry Henry's 6th child, Harriet (Hattie) Case Barlow (1861-1898). Henry died in 1890 and the farm was passed down to F.F. Barlow and Hattie. In 1910 the farm was taken over by Henry Barlow (1885-1958) who married Isabel Sackett Barlow (1888-1964). In 1941 Henry retired to the village and gave his youngest son Donald C. Barlow (1915-2001). All told, 5 generations of the Case-Barlows lived in the same house that Chauncey Case built in 1831. As their farming years came to a close in the 1900s, the Barlow family began selling off the pasture and crop lands for a variety of uses. The site now occupied by JoAnn Fabrics was once part of the farm. Don and his second wife, Helen, donated the remaining property to the First Congregational Church of Hudson. In 1996 a group of concerned, preservation-minded citizens formed the non-profit Case-Barlow Bicentennial Farm. The farm, house, buildings and almost 5 acres were purchased to preserve the legacy of the Cases and Barlows. The City of Hudson Park District purchased the surrounding fields for a city park.
