Field Notes

c.1820 The farm was begun by Amos Case and carried on by his son, Ellis, who, with his widowed sister, Emeretta, worked on the property until both died within days of each other in 1923. Adolph Hein then bought the farm, and it continued in the Hein family until voters approved the town of Farmington's purchase of it in 2001. The Case barn housed a pair of oxen (sign of a prosperous farmer in the early 19th century), a horse, cows and chickens. In 1927, the Heins added a pig barn and built additional barns in 1930 and 1949. Henry E. Hein acquired his father's property in 1957, and for many years also raised bait fish in the farm's ponds. "Ernie" currently boards horses and uses the main barn for storing hay.
