In 1919 an article appeared in the Farmer telling about the Houlton Brothers Experimental Farm in Uneedus. The Houlton family was big around the Madisonville area, and there was much excitement about their large farming operation starting up in the Uneedus area, just west of Folsom. Click on the article below for more information about that endeavor.
From the description, it sounds like the experimental farm may have been in the vicinity of the current Global Wildlife Center.
