The Silo - Built to Feed a Working Ranch
Standing roughly 75 feet tall, the silo once stored grain used to feed cattle and horses across the farm. A small roofed entry structure along its side hints at how it was accessed and used during daily operations — a unique detail that still sets it apart today.
Strong Bones Still in Place
Despite its age, the silo remains remarkably solid. Its walls are intact, the interior is still clear, and the original top has helped protect it from the elements over the years. Unlike many old silos, it hasn’t been overtaken by trees, and its sturdy base reflects the same durable construction found in other buildings on the farm.
Traces of Everyday Farm Life
Extending from the silo to the southeast is an old concrete walkway — likely used to carry grain from the silo to feeding areas. The layout suggests troughs may have once lined either side, and a few original fence posts still stand as reminders of how this space once functioned.

A New Perspective for the Future
As restoration continues, we’re exploring the idea of creating a lookout at the top of the silo. From that height, it would offer a full 360-degree view of the farm — a chance to take in the land, buildings, and landscape from a completely new perspective.
