Hooper Experimental Farm, Rustico Road

     I was out by this farmstead this morning.  The view from the road gives you no clue of the importance this farm played in the farming industry of Prince Edward Island - it was an experimental farm.  The Hooper family lived in the house and operated the farm.  It's located on the Rustico Rd. (Rte.6) between Oyster Bed Bridge and Toomb's Corner in Anglo Rustico.  When the leaves are off the trees you can see into the back of the farmyard and all the old buildings with trees growing up around and through them.

Below are photos I took of the house in October 2008.

P.S.  I came across this photo on Earle's Pictures Restoration's Photos on Facebook on Mar. 13, 2014.
