for storage. Part of it was used by Climax Mfg. While there with a Climax

Decrepit barn on
Route 342 near Longways
There is an old house
beside it, but so covered with brush I could not get a pic of it.
Update 9/2/07 - Both structures seem to have been demolished.
There was an old house that went with the barn but it was so
surrounded by trees I never got a good photo of it.

Kris S. writes that this place "belonged to a man with a wooden leg we all knew
as Crash Riley. He lived there with his wife until he passed quite a few years
ago. He always crossed the street to go to Longways several times a day."
*Marilyn M.M. writes "I remember this property very well & remember hearing
about the last known residents of this property. However, the prior owners lived
there many years & really worked very hard to maintain the farm & their
livelihood. It seems as if Mr. R.A. also drove schoolbus to supplement their
income. Mrs H.A., a very hardworking woman did a great deal of the farm work. In
their later years they were blessed with a much-loved daughter. When she was
still very young, her Mother (Mrs. H.A.) fell from a piled high haywagon & was
killed. Such a tragedy. Their daughter must be around 50-60 years
old now. In tribute to her parents & all the other hard-working farmers of
the 40's & 50's of Jefferson County, I had to share this little bit of history.
There are not many of us left to tell it & to see these overgrown piles of
rubble is sad. Most had been well cared for buildings providing shelter, food, a
haven of love & a source of learning the customs, values & mores of our
community. Just one small piece in the quilt we call the United States of
America." |

Frink Farm, Salt Point Road (Route 66), near Sackets
Harbor
This barn is very close to the edge of the road. What appears to be a
small building is across from this, but it was obscured by brush.
Randy Nier writes: "The farm in this picture was run by my grandfather (Howard
Nier) for 24 yrs. Most of the time he had 40-60 head of milking cow. Mostly
Holsteins. My entire family grew up on that farm. It was owned by David Frink.
He used to own the little cute yellow home at the entrance of the Salmon Run
Mall in Watertown. The farm just down the road, at Baggs Corners that burned,
was owned and operated by The Grant Family. I was recently there last summer to
visit family and had a chance to see the farm again. It brought back some great
memories. I plan on buying land around that area when I retire and really would
love to own the farm. I had a great time growing up there. Bob Bendwell is the
caretaker of the farm now I believe. My grandfather later became the lawnskeeper
of the Madison Barracks in Sackets Harbor before he passed on." & "My
father Gary S. Nier is the second oldest son of my grandfather, Howard S. Nier.
He knows everything about the farms history." and "I would love to hear
back any comments on the farm. I would love to talk to the owners and
possible find out if the building across the street from the barn would
ever be for sale."
