Barn Restoration
Work has started on the restoration of our historic tobacco barn. In August and September 2007 we are in the process of installing permanent electric service to the barn. This will then allow us to have power to then work on restoring the structural integrity of south end of the barn, replacing the barn doors and installing a new roof. This barn will then serve as the main operations facility and the attention will then turn to the historic dairy barn.
Brush Clearing
We have been working for several years to clear and remove brush and debris from the property. This has led to the creation of several scenic wooded trails. As of August 2007, we are removing brush from beneath a very large walnut tree at the end of a tree line in our far northern field. We plan to place a few benches and picnic tables in this location. This location will also be on the City of Milford's Urban Trails system.
Main Entrance Sign
Thanks to a generous contribution and the hard work of a few of our volunteers, we are purchasing and installing a large wooden sign to be installed on South Milford Road near the entrance to Pattison Elementary School. We hope to have the sign installed by the Fall Feast on October 7, 2007.
