2009 Construction Projects

A picture was taken from this location 125 years ago and is now on display in the 1883 house built for Foster's son Egbert. In this picture, you can see three of the building projects that have taken place this summer. In the foreground is a recreation of the picket fence seen in the old picture, built by Tom Burnett and Tyler Moore. Just beyond it on the right is a dance platform/stage. Behind the barn is the wagon shed, still under construction. Behind the photographer is a "remnant" of the 1848 house under construction.  Tom Burnett and Dennis Duncan are making it out of recycled hand-hewn logs from an old barn.

To the left are the two new covered platforms for vendors and rainy-day picnickers, constructed by Tom Burnett, summer staffers and Jonathan Birchfield.
It's been a busy summer, with changes all over. Come on down for an event or two and see what's happening.

Summer Staff 09

Thanks to our summer staff, for great work with summer camp, painting and construction projects, storekeeping, customer service, and more.

Troy, Tyler, Tony, Kyle, Jalyssa and Candace got a lot done this summer, thanks to the careful supervision of Brooke. They painted fences and picnic tables, helped to build vendor platforms, did fence construction and repairs, and helped summer campers, tours and drop-in guests learn from and enjoy the Farm.
