County Farm

[fatsmahoney]

1876 plat map lists this proprety as "County Farm" 170 acres of relic paradise unfortunately 168 acres of it was frozen below three inches I had to leave behind a thousand good signals

Recently bulldozed about 35% of the property the ground is full of broken crock bricks and glass of all colors
This is one of the most promising sites Ive ever had permission to search

The old plats in the county that I live have county farms but they say county poor farms where poor people lived and worked the farm for the county. This might be a poor farm your hunting and your finds look promising for more good stuff. Good luck.

Edit: Wolverine beat me to it by about 20 seconds. hehe
