Lower Dairy Barn

circa 1910
The lower dairy barn is used for milking cows.  Until 1950’s about 40 cows were hand milked twice a day in this barn.  In 1910-1911, the barn was very modern with a concrete floor, steel stanchions to hold the head of each cow in place while being milked, a gravity fed water system and the overhead track system for feeding and cleaning.  It was restored in 1997.
