Fernhill Farm
Image
Elevated view from hill of the Frank and Bertha von der Sump farm on Golden Road. There is a modest one-story farmhouse, a barn, windmill, and four other farm buildings with haystacks below. There is a summer kitchen behind the house and an outhouse to the right, near two woodpiles. Cows are penned beside the barn and chickens range free. A small carriage is parked near the house. Fields surround the farmyard, and wooded hillsides are in the distance.
