Information

From the mid-1800s through the 1940s, this property was the Landon farm. In 1880 Sextus Landon cultivated 19 acres of crops and maintained 8 acres of pasture. As agricultural practices changed, the Landon family also added a small poultry operation to the farm. The Queen Anne-style farmhouse was built ca. 1900 after the original Landon farmhouse burned. The Rosebarb Farm rental cottage on the property was built on the slab of the former Landon chicken house, bringing modern agritourism to Brooktondale. In addition to the gambrel-roof barn, the property features a wood silo.
