The Historic Farmhouse Home of Lester & Sarah HolmesThis sale is at the 1928 farmhouse that Lester and Sarah Holmes lived in with their four children, among the acres of walnut, olive and fruit trees.

Mr. Holmes and his wife Sarah Elizabeth Merwin (born 1897, died March 15, 1971 in Sacramento) had four children. Since the Holmes family, there have been a few other families to live here, expanding the home to a two-level, 6 bedroom home that has hosted open houses for local farmers, St. Joseph's community gatherings, as well as family gatherings like Birthday Bash barbeques and unforgettable Christmas mornings in a home decorated to the hilt. The home boasts beautiful antiques along with beds, couches, tables, appliances, wicker furniture, and a gorgeous grandfather clock.

HISTORY: The California Delta was California's first agricultural region, today fueling a $31 billion agricultural industry. Vineyards and orchards in the Delta date back to the early 1800s and Clarksburgwas settled in the 1850s for agricultural uses. Named after Robert C. Clark, who arrived there in 1849 as part of the Gold Rush population boom, Clarksburg's prime farmland is now part of the Delta Farm and Winery Trail. In the 1920s, the New Holland Land Company began subdividing the tracts and established Clarksburg as an unincorporated community. In 1933 the sugar factory was brought to Clarksburg piece by piece via railroad and construction was completed in 1935. The first General Manager was Lester J. Holmes, a local landowner who ran American Crystal Sugar from 1936 to 1954. The sugar mill was a bustling hub where "almost everyone was involved with the mill," according to the Sacramento River Delta Historical Society.After nearly six decades, the mill closed in 1993 with part of the original Old Sugar Mill becoming the current home to 11 California wineries. Clarksburg is unique among small California towns in that many of the families who initially settled the area are still present.
