The Black Dog’s PhotoBlog

I was up near the Isanti County fairgrounds the other day and thought I’d stop by and update the pictures I have of the old house. I was curious after my last post what updates they might have made over the past couple of years. It looks like they’ve put a nice little deck on and added some wood shutters. Looks kind of cute don’t you think? I’m dying for them to do some work on the inside of this house. I love antique furniture and vintage décor. In my next house, maybe I’ll decorate it in a vintage style. I still have a few antiques my mother gave me.

This is the home that my friend’s father grew up in. The original homestead is in Springvale Township just north of Cambridge MN. The home was built in the 1870s by his great grandparents. While his uncle still lives on the original homestead the original house has since been donated to the Isanti County Historical Society and now sits on the Isanti County Fairgrounds. 1870’s Pioneer Home Museum

Since I live near Isanti County I visit the fairgrounds on many occasions throughout the year. I look forward to watching what they do with this house and taking pictures of the progress to share with everyone.
