I farm in this area and this was the original farmstead of one of our landlords.

I spent my summers at this farm. My Grandparents Harold and Ona Daniel farmsteaded or share croped the land around there. Sadly this farm burnt some time ago. Their nephew still keeps the lot mowed. What memories came flooding back. THANK YOU for sharing this.

Hi Darla! Thank you for sharing your memories of the farm in Vermilion County. It's amazing how photos can bring back so many emotions. We'd love to hear more about your experiences growing up in the area. Were there any favorite places or activities you enjoyed during summers in Vermilion County? How have things changed since the photo was taken in 1966? We love hearing stories like yours!

Hi I grew up in Potomac Illinois but when my parents traveled with my three older brothers I'd get dropped off here. Loved every minute. My Grandparents were so loving and kind. When I was a kid many years ago we had to use our imaginations to entertain ourselves. Grandma was a wonderful cook. Grandpa was so much fun as well. Hopefully that is what you are looking for.
