THE FURROW: The online newsletter of Howell Living History Farm

Tree Down

It's not exactly farming news, but a big tree falling down is always worth a sentence or two. During a fast-moving storm last night, an old Norway maple fell over not far from the historic John Phillips farmhouse. At first, lightening was suspected, but upon further inspection it appears the tree was rotted with age and fell over in the wind and rain.

According to Farmer Pete, who was at the farm yesterday before, during, and after the storm, Dry Run Creek transformed from completely dry to a rushing torrent of water in less than an hour.

All of you have been greatly kind, informative, and easily approachable. Thank you Mercer County and the friends of Howell Living History Farm to make all of this possible. My sincerest gratitude to all of you!
