Bill came over to get the truck out of a mucky mess and stayed and pulled some trees. Every time he pulled a tree root out, we found more bricks! We have found the foundation walls for the front, back and the wall that went down the middle. We also found some old glass that appears warped, so we are thinking that this house, which had a footprint similar to ours but much smaller, probably burnt down in a fire. That explains the second storm cellar and the old barn. I wish we knew when the fire happened...but we may never be able to find that out.
The picture shows some of the foundation bricks exposed when one tree was pulled. We have decided to call our farmers market venture.....wait for it.....here it comes....."Red Brick Farms!"
