The Old House


This log home was built in 1873 or 1874 and has been in Amy's family since 1894 when Amy's great grandfather purchased it along with some farm land. Amy's father and his siblings were raised in this home. Currently Amy's aunt owns it and has rented it to family over the course of the years. Our home is currently on a piece of the farm land that Amy's great grandfather farmed. As you may have guessed, we live around many other family members who also built homes on the farm land.

Amy's father, cousins, aunts and their friends did a great deal of work renovating the log home prior to renting it to the first non family member ever!!! Amy is helping remove tape from the windows.
