Comments

This farm was owned by my great uncle and his family, Charles Smith. The barns are now gone and the pond is smaller. It was originally a dairy farm, but later also raised pigs. It has changed hands several times in the last 20 years or so and is no longer owned by the Smiths.
The triangular drive in the upper right corner is the drive to my childhood farm, owned by my grandfather, Quincy Smith and subsequently my father, after Quincy's death in 1955, I believe. That farm was then passed down to my brother, who now owns it.

Correction to my last comment; Quincy Smith died in 1945. And the name of the farm in the upper right corner, owned by Quincy and my family, was Three Locks, as it is located on the site of three locks of the former Genesee Canal. The canal ran under the drive leading to the triangle connection, between the county road and the driveway running towards my family's dairy barn.
