In 2007, Dr. Earl Trevathan decided he needed a project. That was the year that he acquired the 1750 yellow farmhouse that was falling to pieces. He was born in that house, along with his siblings, and has all sorts of photographs of the generations who lived there and worked the farm. Renovating the house is only part of the story: He’s also an environmentalist and wants to restore the land to its original habitat. To that end, he’s donated the property to the Nature Conservancy in exchange for their help. They’ve brought a spring and pond back to life, and they’re planting more than 100 native white cedars, among other projects.

Trevathan is holding a handmade homestead brick from the 1840's.
