From the collection

Two 4″ x 3″ photographs of the Howard Homestead from around 1960. The house was located on Howard Rd. One photo is of the house, which was built prior to 1855, and was home to Calvin Howard (1792-1883) and his family by 1855. The house was purchased by Howard in 1838 from his brother-in-law, Eldridge Fletcher (1807-1882). In the early 1960s, the house burned down. The barn burned down in January 1968.
