Living Legacy Farmstead 3759 N. 900 Blvd., Mount Carmel Open: By Appointment only Experience what farm life was like at this turn-of-the-century farmstead. The house was originally a log house from the 1870s. The log house portion of the structure is the original homestead to which my enterprising German ancestors added the 'modern' 1902 farmhouse.
On the property see the Summer Cottage, Barn, Bunk House, Tool Shed, Hen House and more.
Follow the blue directional tourism signs that are located in Bellmont. The Farmstead is 10 miles from Mt. Carmel, Grayville, and Albion.
