This farm has been in the Worch family since 1894. It is, in fact, one of TWO farms that have been in the family that long! Jack Worch's paternal grandparents owned this farm, and his maternal grandparents owned the farmland across the road. Both sets of farmland were passed down to their children, and then to their grandson Jack. There are not two centennial farm markers, because each family is only allowed one. However, the owners contentedly use their farmhouse, have a garden, and proudly maintain their sign. (You'll notice they've started to use it as an ivy trellis - it adds character.)
The sign is visible from the road. You are welcome to stop and take photos of the sign, but please do not trespass on the property. It's on a dirt road, so just park along the road to take your pictures.
