History/biography
The homestead and other buildings at Artimore Station located about 14 miles north east of Blinman. Artimore or Artemah or Artemar sheep station was established in the early 1850's and was leased to John Baker, politician and pastoralist. Baker was the second Premier of South Australia. Henry McConville took over the lease afterwards. At its peak the station carried 40,000 sheep but due to the semi arid conditions, unreliable rainfall, rabbits and wild dogs the station was abandoned in 1903.
