Other Information

Photo 1 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 2.

The Mail Pouch barn, other buildings and the site configuration are clearly shown in Historic Aerials' imagery (1955-1981). By 1986 the buildings had all been razed and removed and the site cleared in prepartaion of the construction of I-69. The distance measurement tool was used to obtain the decimal coordinates of the Mail Pouch barn. The coordinates were input to the Google map program and the red pin on Photo 5 is the location where the Mail Pouch barn once stood. The yellow circle on Photo 5 is on probable foundation remains of the farmhouse.

Photo 4 is a view looking in toward the old farmsite from Lansing Rd.
