I Was the Guest Speaker at the Historical Society meeting!

Recently, I had a fun opportunity to talk to the

Virginia Arena Historical Society. They are an active bunch who take the preservation of the history of Virginia, MN very seriously.

This group has a lovely museum on the edge of Olcott (aka Northside Park)

in Virginia, Mn. It’s really an overlooked treasure.

I was invited to share my family’s story…

The Wycoff’s – Unexpected Farmers.

I’d like to thank them for that chance.

I was so nervous and had not done anything like that before, but their smiling, encouraging faces got me warmed up and I spoke for about 45 minutes!

 Can you believe it?

They were generous and asked a few questions

and some even asked for business cards!

Some folks stopped to share farming stories from their youth. I just love hearing people tell me about what their farm or their grandparents farm was like.

It was a great time, and

I was honored to have been asked.
