I don't really know a whole lot on this farmstead other than it's on state land and rather well preserved. The house is boarded up, so lacking a proper light source(aka a better flash), I didn't enter the house even though it would have offered a nice reprieve from the August heat. The state park service maintains the grounds and presumably, the buildings, as a historic site. Rusted farm equipment lay scattered about and canning jars sit collecting dust on the shelves, helping to keep time in place for the farmstead. In all, the property contains a machinery barn, a shed, a rather large corn crib, a partially collapsed barn, the house, a few coops, a stable, and an external ice house with original ice box. Wandering about, it feels like entering another time while the rest of the world moves on around you.
