Yankee Hill Farm has been in the family for 53 years, and the barn was built in the early 1900s. Its original function was hay and grain storage and livestock production. Currently, it is used for tool and hay storage. It is also used as a workshop and a home for several barn cats.
This quilt pattern illustrates the strong ties their family will always have to Yankee Hill Farm.
