Grandma died in the 1960"s and my cousin just sold the land to some developers. I imagine they"ll burn the whole place down or just bury it. Nevertheless, you can view some history. The grainery was the original house, build of slab lumber, or logs. The house was built in 1886 with an addition built on to it in 1918. My mom was born in 1921.
