Description

Jay Franklin and his two sisters, Judy McBee and Carol Pixley, discussed the history of the Franklin Farm and their ancestors that settled the land in 1871 through the Dawes Commission. The three recalled life during the Great Depression, the various chores they had on the farm, and their mother's cooking. As the crop production had changed in the past, to keep the farm alive the three owners discussed their desire to continue the farm's relevancy through whatever means possible.
