This was my families farm for over a hundred years. I was born in the farmhouse in 1942. My parents lived in the trailer after they retired to be near my elderly grandfather. The small house on the north end of the drive was my grandfather's wall paper store. The property was sold by the family in 1984. The property has changed hands about three times since then. The only original building left is the garage. Most of the trees etc. Have been removed and only a double wide home and garage remain.

Great to see this picture. I owned this property for many years until 2002. I lived in the trailer. The old yellow house was in such poor condition that I tore it down in 1994. There was a tree stump that had grown into the foundation of the house and wood chucks were not paying me rent. I had my Uncle who had remodeled many homes look at it when I had first bought it. He told me that it was not worth putting the money into it to make it livable again. At the same time the old wall paper store came down with some samples still in the top of it. I had help from the friendly farmers that were glad I cleaned up the lot.
