Paul Margan - Grant County Century Farm

View descriptionShare

The Margan family farm in Grant County, Wisconsin, has a rich history spanning over a century. Purchased by Paul's father in 1924 from his grandfather, the 120-acre farm originally featured a log cabin, a granary, and a chicken house. In 1935, the log cabin was replaced with a new house. The farm operated as a dairy farm, with Paul's mother raising chickens and maintaining large gardens, while hay, oats, and corn were grown to feed the animals. During the Great Depression, Paul's father even resorted to cutting tree limbs to feed the cows. Over the years, several improvements were made, including the addition of corn cribs, a garage, and a machine shed. Now, Paul, the last surviving sibling, oversees the farm, which he rents out to a neighbor. Receiving the Century Farm Award has been a meaningful recognition for Paul and his family, honoring the legacy of the farm and the memories created there.
