Go for it!
Find out where the house stood, cellar, etc.
If the kids played in a certain area hit that, family picnics, etc
Where they parked their car, pickup, truck, even worked on them.

Old houses I always start from the driveway to the front door, yard. Then work 20' from the foundation (if known)
and out to 60'.

Good luck
