Campbell–DeYoung Farm

The Campbell–DeYoung Farm is a farmstead located at 9510 East Cherry Bend Road in Elmwood Charter Township, Michigan.

Verney died in 1968 and the following year Louis married a young Danish immigrant named Elly Fibranz.

Louis DeYoung died in 2004, but not before exploring ways to preserve his farm from the rapidly encroaching suburbanization.

[6] The 1860 farmhouse is a two-story Upright and Wing style Victorian frame house on a fieldstone foundation and clad with clapboards.

[7] It is a simple two-story, wood-framed structure with a large, open first floor and a loft area on the second, connected with an internal stair.

A series of ornamental lightning rods line the ridge of the roof; there was originally a cupola at the top, which was removed in 1935.

Inside is an overshot metal wheel within a stone and cement chamber beneath the building, which at one time was fed through a series of hand-dug troughs from a nearby stream.
