Sunrock Farm is steeped in history. The "old barn"was built over 160 years ago by the Ruschman Family.
It is a good example of pioneer ingenuity and hard work. The stone foundation was dry stacked by hand from rocks found on the property.
Groups will have a chance to meet and touch the animals on the farm while learning how pioneers cared for their animals before electricity.
