| This white
frame house was originally the house of August and Justena
Lange and their seven children. The original home was built
in 1874 for the Boehringer family and additions were added
in both 1881 and 1898. A blacksmith shop, milk house, silo
and other small buildings still remain. In 1986, Prof. Joan
Schreiber purchased her family's farm and began efforts
to create a "walk through time." This is a private
residence. |
