Flint Creek Farm

The Flint Creek Farm is a historic farm in Field Township, Minnesota, United States. From 1915 to 1933 the farm was owned by executives of the area's largest lumber company as a side venture supplying food and hay to the company's lumber camps. Three buildings and a windmill tower are still standing from this period.
