I went back in my photo files to find these unused pictures from four years ago. The Funkhouser Farm in Baker is rarely open to the public but it will be open again on September 25th as part of Heritage Weekend.

The log home was built around 1845 by Henry Funkhouser. The front porch was enclosed around 1900. The property is on the National Register of Historic Places and is still owned by members of the Funkhouser family.
It looks like a nice comfortable home to live in. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and well tended to.
ReplyDeleteIt is remarkable that the property has remained in the family for so many years. Here in Ontario if a farm has been owned by subsequent generations of the original owner it receives the designation "Century Farm" and a suitable plaque is mounted.
ReplyDeleteWhat a dream place, dear Linda, I'm so grateful to you for sharing always such wonderful images taking us back to the past of your so wonderful Land!
ReplyDeleteThis farm is truly amazing and extraordinarily well preserved and cared, it seems that a family is still living there.
Take care and enjoy the remainder of your week
