John and Justina Palo Homestead

The John and Justina Palo Homestead is located in Oulu, Wisconsin, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]

History

The homestead was built by John Palo, a Finnish immigrant, and his wife, Justina.[2] It is made up of a house, a wellhouse, an outhouse and a combination building. The latter contains a sauna, a woodshed and a shop. After John's death in 1949 and Justina's death in 1977, the property was vacant, though it remained in the family. Restoration of the property began in 1997 by the couple's grandson, Duane Lahti.[3]

gollark: It seems to be under active development so I assume they'll fix stuff eventually.
gollark: I decided to run dendrite, so technically I'm reachable on matrix.osmarks.net now? It's somewhat flaky because dendrite is quite experimental. Synapse would have used waaaay too much RAM.
gollark: Also, instead of consisting of multiple disconnected IRC networks, any servers can federate and participate in rooms together.
gollark: It's designed for more discord-style persistent chats, for one thing.
gollark: Have people here heard of matrix? It's a decentralized chat thing which seems neat. I'm running a homeserver for it (well, attempting to).
