Circular Tower

This structure is called a silo and was associated with a barn that was torn down in the early 1990's due to being hazard to public safety. This farm is known as the the Burkholder farm. It is considered a "century farm" as it stayed in the same family between 1859-1946. Prior to the Burkholders, John Lucas cultivated this farm and there were 2 houses located along Middle Road, now the QEW. The Blacksmith Josiah Johnson lived in one and William H. McGee a carpenter, lived in the other.
