In this picture, the creek bed is in the center of the picture and the access road can be seen to the left.
The Schnell Farm is very private, and access is limited. The photos were taken from the perimeter of the property.
One of the few ways to get onto the property to view this historic site is by
joining a tour given by The Lakewood Historical Society. As of 2014, the Schnell family was requesting a donation of $5 per person
to help them maintain the farm, one of the last operating farms in Lakewood.
