This was the Claude Lance property, now known as 653 Dobbins Hollow Rd., Riner, VA. He raised his family there and they owned it for nearly forty years. He passed away and his widow sold it to an attorney in Blacksburg, from whom my husband and I bought it in 2011. We are in Floyd County, but across the street is Montgomery County.

Our farm looks very different now! The previous owner had cattle and there were a lot less trees back then. Loved seeing what it looked like years ago.
