Kinds of Records: The farm is in the process of being restored, and good records are being kept of its restoration (June Kennedy has shared much information). They found no records from the previous owners (Bernice Picking was the last family member to live on the property). |

Currently one project of note at the farm is an ecumenical outreach garden. Four churches in town are taking turns tending a garden; when the crops are ready, the food will be shared with group helping the homeless. Contact: Mrs. Webb, Telephone:692-4595 Recommendations: If the work is well documented (including the projects like the ecumenical garden), a very complete record of a 21St century historic restoration/ social project could result.
