Anton and Hedwig Ratajczak Farm. Former home of Stanley and Anna Ratajczak, childhood home of Frances, Mary, and Rosie Chopski; childhood home of John Ratajczak, Walter Ratajczak, Emily Ratajczak, and Anton Ratajcak.

Spent a lot of time as a kid running around that yard. David built a log fort in the trees in the upper left corner of this shot.

Old field cars were parked in the trees in the lower left corner, and Uncle Tony had old trucks and tractors parked by the tool shed to the left of the barn, just behind the windmill, which stands to this day.
