This property, on the East side of Sandy River, was settled by the Hunter family prior to 1800 and remained in that family for nearly 120 years.

Bartlett Hammond (1869-1942) of Stratton purchased the farm in 1912 and relocated here with his wife Elizabeth M. Dill (1874-1960), and their three children, Vance, Vivian and Thelma. A year later they were blessed with the birth of Maxine.

Here the family worked the land and raised prize-winning Red Comb White Leghorn hens, a tradition carried on by Vance throughout his life.

Bartlett sold the farm a year before he died.
