About

This property was once home to the Lindners, the founders of United Dairy Farmers. The location contains many abandoned structures ready to explore along its beautiful walking trails. From a picturesque abandoned pool, to an old seed store sign, ice house, and turtle pond, the location presents a unique opportunity to wander and explore. 

The trails are clearly marked and easily walked from start to finish in less than 30 minutes. There are also areas to have a picnic after a day of hiking the trails. 

Everything is open to the public except the house on the property. That is home to the caretaker and open by appointment only.
