Wind and roots on the prairie
HARDWICK — Gates at the end of a half-mile-long driveway in Section 2 of Mound Township proudly announce the Christiansen family’s century-old roots on the prairie just north of the iconic Blue Mounds. Yet, it is the farmstead that wows visitors with its spread of original buildings, from the barn that was constructed in 1929 to the brick home completed shortly after World War II. The original, one-room house is tucked between some nearby trees; and the outhouse still stands as a reminder of the olden days.By: Julie Buntjer, Worthington Daily Globe
