Had to face a similar issue about five years ago. The farm had been in our family since 1845 and it looked like they didn't ever throw much away. One brother needed money, the other didn't have any cash to help buy him out, and with me being established out here just didn't render it too feasible to ante up to buy at least one out. Couldn't justify moving a hundred and sixty year's collection for 400 miles, so made the necessary choices and most went to the Amish including all of the old buildings with hand hewn timbers. Tough decisons sometimes need to be made. They did it before me when they moved in the 1840's from the original home place out east that the family Patriarch had settled after arriving in 1748. My children have little connection with the moved family farm items so there is a good chance it all will be discarded when I'm gone.
