Other Information
Have recently been sent photos of it by someone living nearby.
It is nearly destroyed and cows do have the freedom from this
farmland to roam into it. The farm's owner, Joe Atwell, recently
died and I am afraid of what will happen to this place now.
Support
Green County Officials - not sure who there. There is a new
Historical Society forming there.
