Sellars Farm Tour: 9/15/2012
Thanks To Everyone Who Came Out For The Sellars Farm Tour on Saturday, September 15
We had about 40 people and one puppy along for the tour. The weather was just about perfect, the fields were full of flowers, and the town site was beautiful, as
always. (These photos were taken in 2015. The trees on the platform mound have been removed since then.)
