A.L. Thompson -- Limestone -- Farming with Horses

In this post, I share a bit of my family history. These photos were taken in Limestone, Maine between 1920 and 1935. My grandfather, Arthur Leroy Thompson, known as Roy Thompson, originally owned a farm that was located on what is now the former Loring Air Force Base. My grandmother, not liking the location, encouraged my grandfather to trade farms with the farmer who owned a farm overlooking Limestone. This farm was also located just up the road from her childhood home. The trade arrangement worked and Roy and Laila built their home "up on the hill." The farm buildings still exist.
