This aerial shot of the Van Zandt farm, taken in 1939, reveals several features that you might not be aware of. The house on the right still stands behind a hedge on Route 518.
- The barn to the back is now the Elk's Lodge.
- The building to the right of the barn is thought to be the original house or a portion of the original house that stood on the property. It was moved back to its present location many years ago.
- The Van Zandts were in the farm equipment business and you can see some of their items for sale in front of the barn.
- The old windmill was a prominent feature of the property and will will have a story about it along with a picture of its present location in a future blog.
