Findlen Farm, Ginn Rd. Fort Fairfield, ME

Joseph P. Findlen farm on Ginn Road in Fort Fairfield. Barn and potato house are gone now. They were putting aluminum siding on the house and it snapped when the sun heated it up. Spent many a day and night in this big house and cared for Mrs. Findlen's gardens until she died in 2013. The house just sold to a New York family. Trees surround the entire house.

Hello professor Cyr.

Just looking up Ginn Road and saw this. I’m a grandson of Frank Ginn who’s farm is just down the road. Nice to see these old farms still in good condition.

My mother Louise and father Joseph P. Findlen raised all of us 8 children in this house from birth. Every Christmas was celebrated there until my mothers passing in 2013.
