The Center for Rural History

To meet our increasing public interest, the Friends of Schumacher Farm Park launched a capital campaign to build a new park headquarters and visitor center named, "The Center for Rural History". This beautiful iconic barn is now ready to complete the interior phase of its construction. With over 5000 sq. ft., this timber-framed barn will enable us to provide service to the community that we are currently unable to give as well as allowing us to increase our educational programming offered to area schools.
