How the name came about?
White
Post Farm
It was 45 years ago and we had
planned a summer vacation. John was working as a police officer in
Rockford, Ill, and Marian was a school nurse in the Rockford Public Schools.
It was a hot day in June and our
family started on a 2 week vacation to Virginia. We wanted to take our
kids to Washington D.C. and the surrounding area. We were coming down a
Mountain road and we could see a small town down in the valley. The kids
were "fussing" in the back seat of the car, and the verbal warnings were not
working! In frustrations, John turned around to discipline the kids and at
the same time, Marian yelled out, "Look Out!" In the crossroads of this very
small town was a large white post, and we almost hit it! John stopped the
car and walked back to look at the post. It was about 3 feet square at the
bottom and 7 feet tall. There was a window about 2 feet square, and
looking into the window, we could see a post approximately 4 feet tall and 3
inches in diameter. Under the glass window was a brass plaque that was
placed there by the U.S.A. Department of Interior and it read:
The original white post was placed here by George
Washington to tell his friends how to find his
home.
It was then that we decided to name
our farm, "White Post Farm." If President George Washington put up a white
post to tell his friends how to find his home, we would do the same! So
for the past 45 years and to this day, we have a a large white post with a sign
that reads, "Stromquist White Post Farm Katahdin Sheep"
