Farm
Since Garst's death, his farmstead has been preserved; in 2009, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places under the title of "Roswell and Elizabeth Garst Farmstead Historic District." The farm was seen as historically significant because of its importance in general American history and because of its place as Garst's home.

“A farm is a good thing, when it begins and ends with itself, and does not need a salary, or a shop, to eke it out.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
