It was built in the 50s and is still as sturdy now as then. When my dad inherited the farm we found black and white pictures of when they were building the house. It was so neat to look through the pictures and see what remained and what has changed. The more we work around the farm the more we learn about my great aunt and uncle.

As far as we know, there hasn't been any contact with them for 35 years. 7 years ago I posted on a message board that I was trying to find them. Finally, her niece contacted me last month! Grandma has two siblings still living. So exciting!

When he got to the top, he discovered the initials of his great, great grandfather carved into the top stone!
