Why did the snake cross the road?

The Farm Museum uses only the latest eco-friendly organic pest control methods 😆 you may spot this rat snake near our barns. They are great for keeping the rodent population down!

The clean up of our Middle Barn continues. This is some of what was taken out of the barn and is going to the dump. At least 3 trips have been taken to the dump already in addition to a trip to Potomac Scrap Metals to get rid of the trash. Thank you to our various volunteers helping with this endeavor including #claudemoorecommunitybuilders

What do you think? 🤔

08/04/2021

Did you know that the Farm Museum calls this building our "Middle Barn." We have been using it for storage - the second photo has a small peek into what is inside. Staff were at work on Monday cleaning out and organizing the barn. The clean-out will likely take awhile.
