In reply to Shelley Q. It’s so nice to hear that Harrington is thriving. We used to visit Great Grandma at least every Memorial Day weekend. She’s been gone several years now, I think around 10 years. Her name was Jean. She lived in a pink house on Main Street. Her sister’s name was Laura, and Laura’s family lived in Odessa. My mother-in-law, Nancy, grew up in the pink house on Main Street. (I didn’t want to share last names just to be safe.) Thanks for commenting! I’m happy to hear about Harrington. We sure loved it there

I live in harrington (well on my farm 10 miles outside of town). Im so curious who your husband’s grandmother was because of course, as a 5th generation Harringtonian, i would have known her. I stumbled on this aged post (i’m loathe to recognize that 2012 was 13 years ago) and have to wonder when you last visited? It has been more than a dozen years aince this post and we now have 6 thriving fill time businesses on main street as well as four more that work on a more pop-up or event basis (such as concerts and comedy shows). We have bustling community events and those faded murals have been restored. If your husbands grandmother has passed, my condolences and i’m sure she was beloved. if not, way to go grandma! Even if she’s Not your reason to come anymore, stop by Harrington some time (not on sunday and Monday, we’re still a small town and businesses are closed) and see the beauty and growth of restoration and renewal, you won’t regret it!

Becca…

I hope you have come back in recent years. Harrington is living, and vibrant. I think you would be very happy by what you see. Businesses are growing, buildings revitalized, and active and involved community members.

Hope to see you soon,

That whole highway 2 has interesting old towns. I have taken drone videos of many of them. I post them on youtube.

Thank you so much for the pictures and the narrative. I wish so much I could live there. I passionately love small rural agricultural towns this size. God Bless!

Just came across your post while searching to see whether I could subscribe to Farmhouse at Heart. Like you I was sooo disappointed when they stopped publishing Farmhouse Movement. I was completely in love and it was like a bad break up! Haha my grandparents ran a farm so I spent many happy summers and weekends growing up…i would have to say it’s in my blood. I’ve not had the fortune of going down that road myself but like you lean in that direction as much as possible. Mostly in my garden haven’t taken to the baking side…maybe seeing my grandma spend what seemed like the entire day in the kitchen , covered in flour, baking us kids bread only to watch us gobble it down so quickly haha but it was beyond delicious! My mouth waters thinking about it now. And so many other beautiful farm memories
Enjoyed your blog thanks!

Greetings, Becca. I could really relate to your post. Your comments were very comforting and sounded like conversations I have had with my own friends and family! Even though I am of an older generation, I was also smitten with The Farmhouse Movement magazine and read it cover to cover. Sadly, I did not realize that the magazine is no longer in publication. I also stumbled on Farmhouse at Heart … and like it even better! In fact, I wrote to them and asked if they would consider turning it into a subscription publication. I bought a copy for my daughter and sister … and they love it, too. I am glad I found your site and will visit it regularly now.
