Field Notes

The building functions as a museum house and has a number of reconstructed outbuildings and landscape features. At the northwest is a circa 1860 frame barn which was rehabilitated in 1975. Also in the rear (north) yard are dwarf fruit tress and a woodshed erected in 1975-76. North of the stone wing is a fenced herb garden and rope beehives. Nearby is a small frame privy erected in 1975. Just southwest of the house is a 20th century flagpole and a well erected in 1975 over an 18th century cistern. Brown, T.
