DeKalb County, Illinois, 1971. Copyright © State Aerial. Share

The farm where my parents lived from 1951-1991. Five children were raised here and what great hiding places in all the buildings. My sisters and I would walk the "country mile" because everything was totally safe. We'd pack a picnic lunch and be gone for hours. Life was so simple then.

 —Carol Hertzner
