My family lives here currently (2017; purchased in June 2016). The barns have been taken down many years ago (in the '70's I was told by Connor Prairie, which bought one or two of them), and two houses with about 5 acres each reside in the place of the barns. The iron fence infront of the property still remains! I would love to know more of the history of the Illyes family and following families that lived here. It is still an amazing, beautiful home.

I moved there in in spring or summer 1976 there was 💡 bulbs from wires for lights . Squirrel 🐿 in my bedroom. Loved the windows in the morning, cracked, painted walls . One of dogs was hurt and stayed in the kitchen it water froze. The water line frozen me and my brother would run a hose to the well house on the barn lot. Great hunting and fishing!!
