The Nederhoff farm is
located just south of Wellsburg. Arnold's grandfather bought the farm
sometime around 1918. The buildings, including the barn with its
unusual five-rafter construction, were built in 1927 when Arnold's parents
were married. The barn has been used for hogs, horses, and as a dairy
barn. It is now used for various purposes, including storage, a
workshop, and a place to keep tropical plants and fish warm during the
winter. The quilt block displayed here is called "North
Star." |
