Ole & Magdalena Olsen Farm

This is a historic 120-acre farmstead in Port Oneida, reached at the end of Kelderhouse Road by a long driveway. It suits a short stop for the area's farming history: walk around the buildings, then decide whether to add the short extension to Narada Lake. Interior access isn't confirmed, so plan on an outdoor visit. For a clear farmstead photo, step back far enough to frame the white farmhouse with its attached outbuilding.

Ole emigrated from Kristiansand, Norway, and met Magdalena Burfiend on North Manitou Island. Their son Charles farmed this property from 1891 to 1915, then established a different farm on M-22 after he married. That later Charles and Hattie Olsen farm is the Port Oneida Farms Heritage Center, so keep the two stops straight.

The farm grew wheat and potatoes. Its three-bay barn began as a ground-threshing barn, then was raised for dairy work. A black locust grove and scattered apple trees shape the yard.

A roughly one-third-mile walk east from the buildings reaches behind Narada Lake. Herons, geese, and loons are often seen there, making this a good add-on if you want more than the farmyard. The route's exact surface and accessibility details aren't established.
