According to Dunn County records, the Oaklawn Stock Farm was established in 1889.  The 518 acre farm was equipped with all the “modern” improvements including indoor plumbing, (we’ve continued that tradition), closets, hot water heat, electricity to avoid the constant fear of the dangerous lantern, and a water tower to provide water to all the outlying farm buildings.

“Porch Sitting”
Spring fever isn’t just for school kids rejecting the wearing of a jacket for one more day.  It’s universal.   Well, at least for those of us who live where the earth goes to sleep under a damp gray blanket for several months.  Then comes that one spring morning when the sunrise is golden, the chickadees are practicing their summer song and the air has the smell of damp leaves and mud.
