History of The Red House

cabin

The Red House started out as a very simple cabin near Minocqua, Wisconsin, about a 45 minute drive away from The Farm. When the state highway department decided to widen the highway that the cabin was near, they sold the cabin to the highest bidder. The winning bid was made by Art Palmquist, Jim's father, in 1967. After being sold, the cabin was cut into two pieces, moved to the farm and then reassembled. Modern conveniences such as plumbing and electricity were then installed, since the cabin did not have such features before it was moved.
