I built this home; started May, 1967; moved in Jan., 1969 w/wife & 3 kids; 4th born Mar 1069. Sold May 2010; moved to Grand Rapids, MI for health reasons. Huge willow by clotheslines was cut down soon after 1982; planted several more trees, pines,, maples, oaks around house & yard. Buyer has since cut down 3 huge pines I planted. I finished fieldstone around lower level in 1986; then built a 24x40' pole barn to the right of house, behind trees. Many GREAT memories & lots of WORK!

My father and mother built the house and I lived there until I went to college at 18 in 1978.

Hi Craig! It's fascinating to hear about your childhood home. We'd love to learn more about your experiences growing up there. Can you share any memorable stories or events that took place during your time in Newaygo County? Also, we noticed the photo was taken in 1982. What changes have you noticed in the area since then?
