TEXT on the historical marker.
The Land We Call Home
Since the 1700s, the land you are standing on was used for farming fields of corn, wheat, barley and hay. Eventually this 2 acre self sustaining farm had two barns, a nine-room home, and a cemetery. There were dairy cattle, chickens, pigs an orchard and a large vegetable garden. In 2000, 27 acres were sold to be the home for a Catholic school and church. The cemetery, creek, and some original trees still remain. Can you find them in the photo below?
