This is my grandparent's farm just north of Ortonville on Highway 75. Fran & Betty Paulsen. They built the house you see in this pic, in 1969. The white barn was torn down in the early 80's. Both of the smaller out buildings you see to the lower right of the white barn were torn down in the 90's and 2000's. The groves to the top (west) of this picture are MUCH bigger now, and the trees on the east side of the house (left side of house in this picture) are mostly gone now. Grandpa passed in 1996, but Gram still mows about 10 of these acres by herself!

House was built in 1968
