Danish immigrants Anton and Marie Olsen purchased 320 acres outside of Yuma in 1917. The family lived in the barn while the house was being built.
The family ran a Grade A Dairy for 20 years. Granddaughters Amy and Sara are involved in current farming operations, where a history of hard work and love of the land endures.
