I grew up here on this farm. It is the Raymond and Lucille Tousignant homestead farm. Now it is all townhomes and Sterling Bank, Kwik Trip gas station and a CVS .

Hi Mary! Thank you so much for sharing that information with us. We love learning about the history of the properties we capture! What was it like growing up in that area? What kind of farm did your family operate on the property? Are those chickens outside the barn in the pen?

Hi Alexis! Growing up on the farm was the best. We grew hay, corn, oats, pumpkins and green giant used one of our fields to grow peas. We had a large garden and Dad grew sweet corn and the pumpkins to sell out of our driveway. We had beef cattle, pigs, ducks, ponies and a few horses and of course farm dogs and cats. The birds you see were probably Guinea Hens or maybe ducks.
