Former Dodson farm, Dayton-Smicksburg Road. (county? 4022)
The main farmhouse was built in 1877. Many croquet games were played on its lawn. There was a Wurlitzer jukebox in the basement. This farm was sold to Amish in the 1970s, Eli and Edna Miller. Barns and the small house have been expanded. The main farmhouse is white. The road itself was widened and re-graded to take out the sharp bend and reduce the grade, or something. Some land along the road was taken, a deeper cut made, driveway re-routed. The main farmhouse is barely visible from the road now. Cars pass by on the road below it now.
