Trivia Time: Another Week, Another Farm

The Baldwin-Whitehall Patch has partnered with the Baldwin Historical Society to bring you a weekly trivia question that delves into our area's colorful past.

 and Patty Woehler, co-presidents of the society, will write the questions and provide the pictures.

Here is this week's question:

This picture of the 18-acre John Dryer truck farm was taken in then- in the winter of 1924.

In the winter, snow on the farm would drift 3 to 5 feet, and township officials would pay neighborhood men $5 per day to shovel the roads and make them passable, a process that would sometimes take 12 hours.

During the farm's growing season, Dryer raised vegetables, berries and other fruits. He had a limestone kiln on the farm that he would use to layer wood and limestone and burn it until it became a dry powder to be used as fertilizer on the fields.

Where was this farm located?
