This farm is gone and a new house is here now.

I live here now with my husband. We have been here for 17 years . Before us, my brother in law Gary used to own it for 30+ years. He has passed away. The house is the original house. A newer house was built right over the top of the old one. All of the trim in the house was refurbished from the oak boards on the old roof. Old barn was tore down and tin snd boards refurbished. A new shed was built.

Hi Julie! Thank you so much for sharing the interesting history of your property in Lafayette County, WI. It's fascinating to hear about the transformation from the original house to the newer one. I'm curious, since the photo was taken in 1978, do you recall any specific changes or developments in the area over the years? Also, what kind of farming have you and your husband been engaged in during your time there?
