Finger Family Farm, Berthold Township, North Dakota, 1916-1917
01
Artifact Overview
This photograph shows the young Finger family on their 240-acre "bonanza" farm. They raised grain for market, but also grew feed for their poultry, pigs, horse, and dairy cow. Their farm, two miles east of the Great Northern Railroad depot in Berthold, N.D., gave them market access, while living on a Rural Federal Delivery mail route and telephone line right-of-way connected them beyond Berthold.
