This was my uncles place and I lived there for several years. All but the big horse barn are gone.

Hi Corey,
Where their horses on the property while you were living there? Does your uncle raise any other animals on the property today?

Yes, there were horses. None of them were my Uncles. He rented the horse barn out to various people who did have horses. Other than Chickens, no. No other animals. My Uncle passed away in 1992 and my Aunt sold the property to my cousins who own it today.

The foremost building was torn down right after my Uncle bought the property. It had been damaged by the house that burnt down before this picture was taken. You can see the sidewalks that went around the house. The garage was next some years later. My Uncle with the help of relatives and my cousin and I built a new garage there that still stands today. The little house became a clubhouse for my cousin and I. We had our graduation party there. My grandma and grandpa were staying in it temporally while they were visiting from out of state. During that time my Grandpa died of a heart attack in it. Sadly my Uncle tore it down after that. My cousin and I helped do that as well.
