 Here's a postcard from the the McGrail farm, taken sometime in the beginning of the 20th Century. I believe that it was taken sometime between 1902 and 1942, these were the times that the Lyman School was operating in Berlin. Note that there is only one door on the garage. Note also that there is no front porch on the farmhouse, and that Lyman Road is unpaved. There seem to be horse hoof marks on the sandy road, that would perhaps give the card an early date. The flagpole is visible on the oval lawn in front, that must have been related to the school. We still have the 45-star flag that was always flown on Memorial Day. return home | Farm in 1953 | Another View | From a Distance | From Linden St. | Farm in 1894 | Franklin Stove | Aerial View (note: large picture) | Aerial View (detail) | Farm in 1985 (large picture) | Gramp's Bureau Valuables (Including Rosary) | Gramp's Bureau Valuables (Including Rosary) | Gramp's Bureau Valuables (Including Rosary) | Postcard of the Farm (Early 20th Century) | The Farm in the 1930's | The Pump House | The Lyman School for Boys | | What's New | People | Pictures of the Farmhouse | Pictures of the Barns | Pictures of the Grounds | Odds and Ends | Souvenirs | FAQ | Contact Us | mcgrailfarm.com web log | The Sale of the Farm | |
