Abandoned Farmhouse

Here is another of those situations where the parents' house is left abandoned even though the exterior seems to be in good shape. There is another newer house on the property, which is a working farm.

 

I have noticed in recent years that no one was ever around the house when I passed and that the snow was not cleared from entrances in the winter. The male farmer just died in 2022, and I am guessing the he and his wife might have been in a facility elsewhere for a year of two before that. She had been known as an unofficial historian of the area. They had only two children and. presumably, one farms and resides in the other house.

 

I have seen the scenario many times where the parental house is abandoned and one or more children live in considerably newer houses on the farm.
