An old German

The Brandtjen Farm is now a residential neighborhood off Pilot Knob Road and 170th south of Eagan. The barn was renovated into a clubhouse. Read the long, important farm's history here. See other Barn Charm meme contributors here.

I got lost in reading about the farms history (well, actually, am still reading. it is very interesting even though I know nothing of the area or the people.)

Excellent renovation although we hate to see farms used for anything other than farming. Great shots.
