hallstrom farmstead

For a $5 contribution I received a personal tour and learned about a man from Sweden (via Minneapolis) who was a successful businessman despite his 6th grade education. Recommended!

Step back into early 1900s and experience life in Indian River to the present. Excellent guided tour of the house with original furnishings, wall colors and unchanged floor plan. Axel Hallstrom designed and oversaw construction of the lovely (and incredibly sturdy) house where he lived until 1962. His daughter Ruth lived there till her death in 1999 at age 95. Clearly documented and well preserved. It's a work in progress, but well worth an hour or two for the curious visitor.

A lovely old historical home/farm in Vero Beach Florida where not too many of these exist. Vero is a wonderful coastal town known for its beaches and arts but the mainland has its share of great things too. Call before visiting The HH to get the hours it is open.
