I don't know much of the history on it. Someone told me by the look of the beams its 150 years plus. I know back in the 90's the back wall of the foundation was redone with modern block. We have about 3 acres that borders state gamelands and a 20 acre grass pasture. We are in talks with the owner to be able to use the grass pasture seeing how he hasn't really used it for years, fingers crossed.
