One of our major considerations in returning to the family Homestead was care for Mother and Dad. Shortly after we returned to the Homestead we opened the Homestead House as a B&B, and engaged in prairie restoration/protection.
Mother and Dad are gone, we are that age, and no one in the family is returning. So my sisters and I have sold the Homestead. The INHF has purchased it and will lease it to Monona County Conservation (MCCB) and DNR while they are raising funds to finalize the purchase.
We think there’s a strong chance that there will be a Nature Center established in the Barn complex. If you have the opportunity please encourage Doug Kuhlmann, MCCB Director, to do so.
We will have an on-site Auction on Sep 18 to dispose of antiques, collectables, and 150 years of miscellaneous accumulation. Y'all come! We've found that you can't get enough of what you don't really need! Here are the URLs.
