This is the current property of Fred and Jill Barnes. Our daughter, Amy Barnes is the Fifth generation to live on the farm. When this picture was taken the farm was owned by Francis and Marion Barnes ( both deceased) The left side of the picture shows Francis fillig the potato sprayer from the spring that borders the farm. The barn is no longer standing. The potato house is still standing and one if few of it's vintage standing in Easton. The trees to the left of the barn and in the maples in center if the picture still stand, all the other trees are gone. The house looks the same and has been there since 1865. The farm land is now rented to neighboring farmers.
