Photo 103-UCL-22

Comments

This photo was taken at 4501 N Wright Rd, Fowler, Michigan of the Charlie Simon dairy farm. While the cows were most likely long gone by the time this picture was taken, the farm buildings were and still are used for farm storage today. The large stantion barn you see in the center contains an old feed though that was used to keep the cows occupied while they were milked. There is no visible pipeline in this barn so it is assumed they were all milked by hand. The only notable difference I can see is the small building second to the right has been torn down and the tree forward the garage has been removed. My fiance and I moved here at the beginning of 2019, and hope to purchase this property in the coming years. Thank you for shedding a little light on the history of our home with this beautiful photograph!
