We had 2 visitors at the farm today. These gentlemen’s great-great-great grandfather, James Thomas Moran, settled our farm in 1851. At that time the house was on the opposite side of the road (the foundation is still there). These gentlemen had the original deed to the farm, print outs of original platt books from the 1850s and 1890s. Tomorrow they are presenting the deed to the Sinsinawa Mound. It was pretty cool to learn more about the history of our farm.
