That farm house is a poster for what has happened touch of rural America and it happened in less than a generation. And we did not get to vote on it.

That old american four square house was a beautiful farm place at one time; with nice woodwork, lilac bushes, apple trees, and evergreens – house heated by a coal furnace – belonged to the Parulski family with six girls and two boys who were raised there. All passed away now. Farm was sold to present owner who used the house for grain. Sad to see such a nice farm site go like that.

Doug, I love reading about your excursions but I do have to comment on part of this one. You did not say that you had permission to enter the premises on which you were snooping. As a land owner, I am not excited about everyone site seeing on my property without permission – I think it is called tresspassing. Please be careful about trodding on other peoples land. I know it seems inviting but you shouldn’t. Take pictures from the road but don’t cross the fenceline. Not everyone feels this way but you don’t know who does and who does not.

Doug, Glad to see you folks having so much fun. That house you looked at is just outside of Ivanhoe, MN. Home of Polska Kielbasa days the second weekend in August every year good time for sure. You and the gang will have to check it out (hope you like Polish Dogs and beer) and the little town has a very respectable waterin hole as well. Ask Hemmi about Polska Keilbasa Days I convinced him to attend a few years ago I think he had a good time. Keep havin fun. Tim

A group of gals from Volga are planning a road trip to Gary to Buffalo Ridge for lunch. It sounds like it will be a fun place to check out. I dont think we will be disappointed. Isnt it fun to check out different places in out own area.

I believe that you mean Darwin, MN. And it is home to the worlds largest ball of twine……by one man!

If you think that house is eerie looking, next time take a drive to Letcher, SD. They have the most amazing old house (steeples and all) tucked in about a block behind the old school. Now that house is something to talk about. Never seen anything like it and its HUGE!!
