CENTURY FARMS

Home awards are presented by the state to farms which have remained in the same family for 100 years or more. This list is courtesy of the State Fair, 1978. It includes only farms from Manitowoc co. To help you locate the farm of your ancestors, I found some of these in the 1977 plat book, you can check them against the 1800's plat lists.
