Lucille & Bob Accola - Buffalo County Sesquicentennial Farm

MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON

A Wisconsin family farm can be a time capsule, especially when the same family has been farming the land for more than 150 years. Bob and Lucille Accola in Buffalo County take pride in showcasing how farming was done in the early days. Lucille is the third generation on her family’s Sesquicentennial farm. She and her husband tell us the farm story, beginning with her grandfather’s move to the United States from Prussia. The land he decided to settle the family on was in need of clearing. Dynamite was the way to do it. Unfortunately, in his 70s, Lucille's grandfather accidentally blew himself up. Today, Lucille and Bob welcome people to the farm to see a slice of history.
