Grandma and Grandpa Kessler's homestead

I grew up in the neighboring village of Evansville, population 850 and cherish the memories from my small town heritage. This picture of Frank Kessler's house in Downtown Preston IL is where my mom, Rosemary Kessler, grew up. I spent many afternoons with grandpa and grandma in Preston. It made Evansville look like a big city!

By the way, may I purchase a print of this picture?

Grew up in this house and used to clean the gutters. My Dad Frank Kessler would hold the ladders, we had two that we put together to reach the gutters, and I would climb up and clean out the sparrow nest. It was a great view of the countryside from the top of the chimney also.

I went to school with a Frank Kessler

Home Sweet Home ♡ I lived next door to the Kessler's, what a great place to grow up ♡

I played the piano at Preston United Methodist Church for years and played 4-H softball against on of the best fastball pitcher ever Rosemary!!
