Established in 1788, it has been cultivated by the Ballard family for over 200 years. The farm spans more than 600 acres, featuring a mix of pasture, cropland, and woodlands. The centerpiece is a 2+1⁄2-story brick I-house with Greek Revival architecture, complemented by late 19th-century barns and other structures.
