The Briggs farm was started by a Norwegian family in the 1800's.  The history here is remarkable and a great place to connect with it, is in the old Granary.  It has been obviously shored up over the generations but the original infrastructure is still there.  The beams are rough hewn and notched and pegged together.  Many of the old nails are still around from later years and they are square and old school looking.  On the farm is also an old gravesite of the original owner of the farm.  We often walk by it on our way to the stands.  After spending some time in his Granary I often utter a silent hello as I stride by.  I bet he would be happy to know that after a 100 years it is still standing strong on his original frame.
