Harn Homestead

We went to the Harn Homestead on Thursday with my sister, Brandi, her husband, Aarron, their two girls, Gloria and Olivia, and my Mom, Vickie. We had a blast! It was cold, but we stayed bundled up! It was a great time. It was amazing to learn the history of this man who owned land in the late 1800s and donated some of it for the capital to be built on. And, his niece lived in the house until 1987. How cool! Anyway, you get to tour several things, including their home, which was the most expensive in the Sears Roebuck & Co. catalog. It arrived in pieces on a train from Chicago. There are several other bulidings and houses out there. I recommend taking the time to go and visit. It was only $5 each and kids 3 & under are free. Here are some pics...
