Add to ORKGFrom 1947-1951 the Indiana Historical Society and Indiana Historical Bureau sponsored an award program for farms that had been in a family for 100 years or more. Families completed applications in order to receive the award. This book lists the farms by counties and is a treasure trove for genealogists with Hoosier ancestors, as well as anyone interested in the history of midwestern farms. The book is indexed by the names of original owners of the centennial farms, by descendants, and by county.Destination Indiana Agriculture Centennial Farm
