I had an appt. to talk to a woman on Sunday about getting permisson to seach a farmhouse
thats going to be demolished soon I knew she lived in an old large stone farmhouse maaan,
i was excited knowing i'd be sitting in it with the owners When i arrived i parked and then i
saw what few people see when they drive by on the highway :o As i approached the home
i looked up and there was a date stone 1786 i got shivers they let me in and we talked awhile
When i was ready to leave i asked if i could take some photo's of what i saw when i arrived
they said sure go ahead so, heres 3 shots i got of there circa 1732 log house in there back
yard No, i did'nt ask to search there property and they did'nt offer but, i know i'll be back
there again i hope you enjoy looking at it as much as i did

Thanks Jeff there is a spring that runs through it the owner said it never goes dry
he showed me the lower level they cemented it with a 5 wide by ? long water basin he said
they keep their water melons in it to keep them cool :D i asked if they ever did any digging on
on the property (garden etc. ) they said no but her husband did find an arrowhead in the yard
water - indians next time i visit i'll get a photo of the stone farmhouse

Don't worry, Mike, I'm on the other side of the country, so you have it all to yourself. I only meant that I had been there, never did hunt it.

Did you got permission to hunt the old farmhouse? If you did, make a nice display case of some of the items you find there. Offer it to them saying you know how much they enjoy history. Then you can tell them, if they ever want one from this location to give you a call. It might work, if they see your interested in preserving history. Good luck....

Soooooo SWEET! So neat to know it has been preserved the way it has. One can see the care and maintenance of the cabin and the soil build-up around it. They've preserved it and treasured it for decades. How fantastic! Thanks for sharing!!!
