Farm on College of Dupage property. Only driveway entrance still exists as of 10/11/2020

Was my Grandparents, Oscar and Estella (Barkei) Lambert.
Farm was auctioned off in 1967 and others sold it to COD. Lambert Rd. is named after my great grandparents that farmed what is now Village Links.

2S210 Park Blvd

Hi Brian,
Thank you for the history of the property! Do you have any memories from the house before it was auctioned?

Unfortunately I was 5. So only a couple of memories.
I know that my grandfather raised pigs, dairy
and crops with Case VAC, SC, CC, & DC tractors, also had a Forsdson and a Case cross motor. but originally farmed with horses in the 20’s-30’s.
The house was a Sears kit that came into town on a train car,
their barn was added onto by purchasing one from another farm on Park Blvd. and transporting it to their farm..
My grandmother was a Barkei that grew up at the northwest corner on a farm at Warrenville & Naperville roads (currently Alcatel?)

Hi Brian. I visited Estelle & Oscar I'm almost sure. My mom was Marilyn Barkei. Grew up on their farm at Warrenville & Naperville rd (lucent). I think Estelle was my mom's Aunt. I grew up knowing we were related to the Lamberts.

I was probably about 5 as well. 52yrs old
