A draft long-term Archaeological Management Plan for the entire site was developed, Virtual tour technology was researched and our social media presence expanded. 57612 0 0 HISTORY: The Foundation conducts research and education programs related to the history of the farm, its regional and economic ties, and the people who have lived and worked there.
