Comments

This farm was one of many purchased by the State of Illinois for the Fermilab project in the 1960s. It was listed as the Anderson Farm and labeled as Site 61. The house and barn remain in their original locations and are now part of a group of farmhouses relocated from other areas of the Fermilab land. The relocated houses were moved to a new street called Sauk Circle. The Anderson Farm was re-addressed as #10 Sauk Circle.

Our neighbors that were across the street from us at Maplecrest Farm. Herb and Jeanette Anderson. The farm had a beautiful tree lined driveway.

It was known as Maple Lane Farm.
