The Wayne Dutton Farm. The house is a school house that Wayne Dutton moved from down the road on logs cut for rollers. He moved it because his fiance, Marion Willson, would not marry him until he provided for a house on the farm. Their first child, my wife, Diane Dutton grew up there. [David Boucher 22 July 2023]

This farm originally belonged to my grandparents Ulric and Florida Briere. Their farmhouse burned and they moved everyone to the grain bin. I think one of the outbuildings is the old grain bin. The Duttons bought the land and moved the old schoolhouse to the property. My grandparents and their family moved to Blackstone Mass. My mother and her sisters grew up with Wayne Dutton.
