The History of the Pope Farm Conservancy Land narrative is now complete and posted on our website. This is a compilation of research, stories, photos, maps, remembrances, and other tidbits that has been organized by the three farms that once made up the land that is now the Conservancy. The next step will be to identify several stand-alone topics from this material for the creation of more videos.

We hope you’ll check it out! This narrative is full of fascinating stories about the families who owned and farmed the land that is now Pope Farm Conservancy. Read More Here:

The photo above, taken in 1912, shows the Charles Brumm children riding horses in front of the barn. Charles and Lena Brumm purchased the Central farm in 1908 and built their home which still stands today, as the Pope Farm Homestead. In the photo, the silos had not been constructed, and the lean-to that is later attached to the front of the lower barn had not been built yet.
