The other day, I posted about the 2022 hay crop on the Sutherland Place. Here are some pictures I took on June 6, 2023, when about a third of the farm's 75 acres of hay had been cut. A lot of the hay this year is thick and lush:
The old hay barn still stands, but barely:
An old tree, mostly dead except for a bit of green midway up, stands near the barn.
William Milton Sutherland's cabin continues to deteriorate. The collapsing chimney has lost bricks, the windows are fallling out, and part of the roof has blown off. Hay was cut to within a few feet from it.
The uncut patch is where the hearth in the old kitchen was.
How long before the cabin is gone? Time will tell. . . .

I would think the historical society, if there is one, might have interest in that old homestead.
