That's the Wade farm, Swan Creek Road, Hemlock MI

This is my Grandpa Wades Farm and I have lots of fond memories of this place. We used to gather on Sundays for chicken dinner. Kids ate first & adults ate second & kids played out side. That’s how us cousins got to know each other so well. Nothing has changed as far family get together we still get together on Father’s Day. But sorry to say the farm is all gone.

Yes, I do have connections with this farm. This property was purchased by my Mother in Law which three years ago we purchased the land from her as it was too big for her. I have been seeking more photos of this property to hang in the hall way by the front door. I have been renovating the home slowly. Almost finished and would love to know the stories of the home. As of now the home has a huge pond in the front and allot of the buildings were tore down years ago.

Hi Sondra,
Thank you for sharing the history of your property in Saginaw County! It's fascinating to hear how it has evolved over time. We'd love to know more about the stories of your home. Could you give us any information about what life was like on the farm in 1972? Also, what kind of farming have you and your family done on the property?
