==History==
Gjert (George) Johnson was one of the three brothers who moved to Olive Township, Clinton County, Iowa in 1853. They were the first Norwegians to settle the area. George and his wife Britta Christensdatter had nine children and they purchased the land on which the house and surrounding farm sits in 1861. Their original house, no longer extant, was across the road. The family was charter members of the nearby Kvindherred Lutheran Church and donated the land for the cemetery. By 1879 George owned over of land, which made him one of the largest landowners in the township. He built this house for over $7000. The Johnsons lived in this house from 1878, when it was built until 1882, when most of them moved to Norman County, Minnesota. One of the Johnson daughters remained behind with her husband, the Rev. J.J. Heie, who was the pastor at Kvindherred Church from 1900 to 1913. They continued to live in the house. It was sold, along with , to John Olson in 1913. Pastor Sheldahl lived in the house when he was at Kvindherred Church in the 1930s. Three sons of George Johnson's brother Arne (Aaron) bought the house in 1949. It remains a farm house.
