Samels Farm is located just outside of Traverse City, Michigan in the town of Williamsburg between Elk Lake and Lake Skegemog. The site has been declared a Pioneer Farm, meaning that the original family has maintained continuous ownership for at least 100 years. Samels Farm has also been placed on the National Register of Historic Places due to the Native American artifacts discovered - some dating back to 9000 B. C.

The windmill is a reminder of a simpler time and the creaking of the metal in a steady wind is sometimes the only thing you can hear on a quiet summer night.

Samels Farm is located just outside of Traverse City, Michigan in the town of Williamsburg. The site has been declared a Pioneer Farm, meaning that the original families have maintained continuous ownership of the property for at least 100 years. Samels Farm has also been placed on the National Register of Historic Places due to the numerous Native American artifacts discovered from several unique cultures - some dating back to 9000 B. C.

Samels Farm has an extensive collection of antique farm equipment which is housed in the machine shop, barn, and other outbuildings. The Samels Farm Heritage Society, in keeping with the generous spirit of the Samels’ Family Trusts, is dedicated to preserving the farm’s open-space, waterfront, woodlands, buildings, and other physical effects. We are dedicated to providing the Northern Michigan community with an educational experience based on the prehistoric and historic settlement of the area.

This Chestnut tree was the victim of the blight that was introduced into the US in 1904. Within 40 years, nearly every Chestnut tree had succumbed to this disease. Still standing -albeit quite dead - in Cooks Forest, PA.

Forests on the Monte Amiata (Amiata Mountain), in the southern Tuscany. This mountain is an ancient, dormant volcano, which conserves warmth and energy. The tumultuous past has left behind imposing trachytic rocks, immobile between beech and chestnut trees, softened by coats of moss.
