THE REX DOBSON RUBY ELLEN FARM

The organization provided continued maintenance to the landscape, structures and relics of the ruby ellen farm. Buildings were examined to determine priority repairs. The cookhouse/gift shop floor was scraped and repainted. Additional gift shop signage was installed. The farmhouse attic project continued: removing old insulation and installing new, covering it with sheathing. At-risk items were stored in large plastic totes until the project is complete. The tractor house project continued: overall cleaning and moving/reorganzing equipment in preparation for self-guided tours with informational placards on the equipment. The dirt floor was raked level and gravel spread in areas where equipment was placed. New signage was installed at the paddock garden, identifying all participating partner organizations. The organization continued cleaning, sorting and documenting the antiques and artifacts of the farm.
