Gavin house

 

Bill Gavin was one of the last of the old residents of the area and lived here until 2005.  The house is still standing.  Bill Gavin’s father tells a story of seeing Lindburg’s Spirit of St. Louis fly over the farm on its historic Atlantic crossing.  Hear it retold by John L Haley (September 13, 2008)
