History For Those Who Look
When I see houses like this one I always wonder how many kids were raised within. This little old home had a couple of additions made, so the farm provided a good living, and probably supported successive generations. We are fortunate to have a glimpse into the past, thanks in part to the tin roof, which has kept the wood dry. This nice little home is situated on a bluff overlooking Dry Fork in Wayne County, Illinois, and the farm was a combination of upland and creek bottom, so crop failures would have been rare. I wish the walls could talk.
