To find this property, we drove north of Spokane on State Highway 2 just before Riverside Community. At the water tower, turn left on Laurel road. When it turns into Findley road, you are in the middle of the old Apted homestead. We discovered the remains of the house, barn, and outbuildings.

To get to the Milan Cemetery, where Henry and Sarah are buried, turn right off Highway Two on Laurel road.
