The Wright Farmhouse

This was originally the home of William and Gertrude Wright and is known in the area simply as "The Wright Farmhouse."

Enjoy the "walk around."









And a little more recently...In 2004 the house was featured in Terry Gilliam's film "Tideland," a film that was aptly described by David Cronenberg as a "poetic horror film."  At the time of filming the house was in much better condition than when I saw it about a month ago.  That said, it's still a magnificent sight on the open prairie.

  2. This place obviously was a real showpiece in its time. Still is!
