This happens to be the living spot of the historical family called the Wagners. The farm is located across the street from a church. The parking lot in the church is the only place where cars can park to get in the farm area. In the area, there is the main barn. On the bottom, is the stables where the cows will sometimes be. In the loft of the barn, There is a place where they keep a lot of equipment, including the hay bails. Some of the bails are stacked on top of each other with a n opening formed. There is a sign on the bails saying "Kitty Condo, Do not remove", meaning that the cats hunt mice in there. There are cats running around. Next to and behind the main barn is a big field seperated by the fence. This is where the cows dwell. Behind the main barn is a stable where they will keep the sheep and pigs.
