A
Welcome Center was needed. None of the original farmhouses still existed, so another building was needed to act as a Welcome Center.
It happened that a suitable house in downtown Fairfield was available, so arrangements were made to move it to this farmstead to be converted into our Welcome Center.
The
Welcome Center has displays, photos, artifacts, and stories about the farm's history, along with stories and artifacts concerning early Fairfield industries related to agriculture. Also, you will find plenty of visitor information about Jefferson County.
Much renovation of the
Welcome Center was needed before the doors could be opened. See photo essays of
the renovation progress and the
Open House in Oct 2011.
