Early Cessna Farms: 1718-1800
Ancient cartographic records and time faded land deeds chronicle the blood soaked soil of our family’s farmsteads, bravely established during the years from 1720-1820. They created homes and businesses while facing nine different wars with native peoples. These documents bear witness to the relentless toil and unyielding determination that carved our lineage into the very earth itself. Our family’s footsteps are etched upon the maps, like scars of triumph and resilience.
