This is Oak Hill Farm. My grandparents owned it from the early 1970s through about 1990. During their ownership it was primarily a "gentleman's farm" with some cattle. Prior to their ownership it was for some time a worm farm. The two story building in the center of the photo was the office and the large low covered areas to the right of it are covered worm beds. The field at the top right was also part of the farm, reachable by a road through the woods. Family lore held that the main house (at bottom left) was used as a field hospital during the Civil War battle of Cedar Creek. This whole area is a housing development now, though the original farm house remains and the field at top right still appears to be used for agriculture.
