The Old Perkins Homestead

This is the Perkins Homestead. My Dad and his brothers have been working on this for about two years in their spare time. They were able to use the original fire place, just fixed it up a bit. Sorry for the extremely long post. And sorry for the sideways pics. I just didn't want to have to go back and fix them all. Sorry.

These pics are of the inside of the cabin, obviously.




Oops. How did that get in there. Jason stop eating the bread. Don't let Uncle Cecil see this pic. Ha ha.

This is my great grandma, Elizabeth Jane Hancock
This is my great grandfather, Reuben Josiah Perkins
This is what the original homestead looks like.
This is my parents posterity. All of my parents kids and grandchildren were there.

Sorry this is so long. But I just had to post all of my dad's hard work along with his brothers and sisters. They really did a phenomenal job on recreating this home to be as close to possible as the original.
