| Additional Information: | 2023: A small animal barn constructed circa 1900, stands opposite the other historic age buildings east of County Road G. It is a medium sized, rectangular plan frame building clad in ribbed metal with a standing seam, dual-pitch gabled roof. The south elevation contains two sliding vehicular doors at either end. Small four-lite fixed wood sash windows are in each of the gable ends. The Edwin Sedevie Farmstead stands on either side of County Road G in the northeast quarter of Section 34 in the Town of Washington, La Crosse County. The farmstead includes a historic-age house (246108), smokehouse (246109), tobacco barn (246110), garage (246111), and small animal barn (246112) all constructed prior to 1938 as well as a basement barn (246113), small animal barn (246114), hay barn (246115), and machine shed (246116) constructed after 1963 and after the dams in the Coon Creek Watershed were completed. Edwin Sedevie, a first generation Bohemian American, owned and operated the farmstead from at least 1900-1930. The farmstead is associated with Bohemian settlement in the Town of Washington, La Crosse County which became known as Bohemian Valley or Bohemian Coulee. The Farmstead is further associated with agricultural practice of combined dairy production and tobacco cultivation in the Coon Creek Valley and the broader Northern Tobacco District. |
