The John L. "Johnny" and Leola J. "Lee" Jackson Family purchased this farm in 1958 when it was covered with 6-foot-high dog fennels that encompassed a small brick bungalow that needed a great deal of work, and a farm tractor along with other equipment and a number of run-down farm buildings that needed to be removed. The tractor was later used to help clear the land and bring it back to a place of beauty. It was a labor of love, and for a number of years every free time was used to make Jackson Farm a home for our children and all our animals that was loved. Here we are in 1969, with our children and animals.
