Detroit Farms

I grew up about a block from the farmland between Southfield Freeway and Michigan Ave in Dearborn. There were a couple of woodlots where they have those two white office towers right off of Southfield Freeway along with the farmland. Is the farm buildings still around in Southgate?

I think there is one barn still standing at the Southgate part of Schafers farm. It should be visible from southbound 75 looking to the west just before the Northline Road exit. A house is still there as well and I believe this is the original house. That farm used to be huge. One of my earliest childhood memories is waiting in the family car as they brought the cows across the road at Allen Rd and Pelham.
