collected within 10 miles of Ahimaaz King House between 1850 and 1974: 2,921 Animalia, 677 Fungi, 92 Plantae, 40 Protozoa, 13 Unrecorded, 2 Chromista.
12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by 14529, A. Gaufin, A. H. W. Povah and others. Each is a
physical object with a catalogue
number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was
collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists
7 workings within 5 miles of Ahimaaz King House: 5 producers, 1 plant, 1 past producer.
6 still produce. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction. Distance is straight-line from the
map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring
settlement's page as well.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The National Weather Service names
Kings Mills, the town this property stands in, in 11 storm reports between 1996 and 2025: 6 hail, 3 thunderstorm wind, 2 flood.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.

When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
