The Boone Farm is also a Michigan Centennial Farm and is undergoing loving restoration by the current family members who live in the home and ajoining farm. The current residents recently celebrated the homestead turning 156 years old with an open house and party.
The original owner of the farm was also owned the local lumber mill, and married into the family of the local brickworks which explains the loving brickwork and details on the original homestead.
The current owner informed me that during a recent restoration they discovered the names of the original children written on the bricks of the home. A check of the family plot in the local cemetary showed that these names checked out with the names of the original children to reside here.
