THE LUCHT’S

Herman & Albertina from Frankfurt, Germany came to the USA in 1880 and later decided to settle in Canada. Albertina’s family also immigrated to the area at the same time.

In 1890 they moved to this land although record books don’t list them owning this land until 1900.

The couple raised 12 children on this land. I do not know if they built this home or if it came after they left.

In 1929 Albertina passed away and Herman left the property and moved to the nearby town.

We arrived at this home at what I would call the golden hour. It was a beautiful evening and this property was a perfect way to wrap up a day of bando hunting. Of course I was with my favourite hunting sidekick.

I can only imagine that the family took in many beautiful sunsets from this property. I tried to get a shot of the sun coming through a front, second story window of this house. However, I am too short and couldn’t get a decent one. So, I settled for this instead.

VAVAVOOM PART 2

Well, today I finally finished up the car folder from the photos I took back in October, 2023.

I will certainly go back this Spring/Summer. I did not have enough time to walk the entire lot when I went the first time.

Like I said before, I have never seen anything like this. You see areas on properties littered with cars but this man has a system. Everything is marked and parts are organized.

If you are an old car enthusiast, he likely has what you need.

Loading these photos made me think of my neighbour. He has an old truck that he restored and if my memory serves me correctly, his dad had a truck just like it. I took his son’s grad photos with. I’m going to have to ask him if he knows about this place.

The next time I go, I’ll take Christian along. He isn’t as enthusiast about the old cars but I know he will take some amazing shots here.

I don’t recall if I mentioned the little dog that lives here. He did explore with me for a little bit.

You can see him in the photo above. He wasn’t interested in me for very long and if my memory serves me correctly, he was deaf.

These photos are all taken on the house section of the land. There are still two quarters to discover. I certainly did not give myself enough time when I planned this trip. I had no idea how many cars were really here.

I give the old car guys a lot of credit. To take an old car, restore it, hunt for parts. The time and dedication and money it would take to make it va-va-voom again!
