January Dandelion

A farm, homesteaded in 1853 and forfeited to the bank in 2019. A family, once affluent and landed gentry, now grapples with the ruins of their legacy and the hidden secrets beneath a veneer of faded grandeur.  From prosperity to destitution, seven generations would see the colonization of Illinois, survive the Civil War, persevere through the Great Depression, and endure the world wars to enjoy the prosperity that followed, only to succumb to the subtle, insidious decay of a modern era.
