My parents dropped off a very cool housewarming gift the other day – a Century Family Farm plaque our family received on the 100th anniversary of my great-great grandfather homesteading our family farm in 1883 – framed in barn boards from that same farm.
We got the plaque in 1983 (I think the same year we had a pretty huge family reunion) but the farm is still in our family (though we’ve rented the land out since my dad retired from farming) so that means this farm has been in our family for 137 years!
