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
