We have our first artifact! The John Rees family found a very old horseshoe when they were doing some excavating and renovation on their home on SW 44th Avenue. It is hard to tell how old the crusty thing is. The land was farmed by Mr. Walthers. Was their barn on the Rees property? There was no barn there in 1964 when we drove up Mr. Walthers lane, knocked at his door and asked if he was ever going to develop the land. He said he didn't know. Two years later he had changed his mind. And here we all are. Maybe the shoe is from John B. Talbot's horse way back in the days of the original Donation Land Claim in the 1800's. Any other artifacts out there?
