The 1950s mechanical milking apparatus, the coolers, the cream separators and the office where Calk sold milk, cream and butter up until the mid-1970s are all still there, too. And the equipment is still functional, as are most of the structures and various additions to the village. The outhouse would work, too, if it were just sitting over a deep hole. Calk grew up on his father's dairy farm near Silver Valley in northern Coleman County. It was a fine thing, but served only half of the population.
Visitors occasionally come by, take photos and take a Calk-led tour of the village.
