Farmstead

The Leet/Hassler Farmstead, built in the mid-to-late 1910's, is a well-preserved attraction that has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The farmstead, which is named after its two primary early owners (William A. Leet and Frederick H. Hassler) includes a 1.5 story Craftsman-style house, three-bay garage, a beautiful braced-rafter gambrel-roofed barn, hog house, chicken house, scale house, boar house and corncrib. (The corncrib was added by a subsequent owner later in the 1940's and isn't considered as historically significant as the other outbuildings located on the property). In addition to the farm buildings, the property boasts two rock planters, one birdbath and a lovely fishpond that were constructed by a local mason around 1916.

In general, the house retains excellent integrity having been little changed since its early 20th Century construction. The original flooring, woodwork, and decorative details are largely intact along with the plumbing and lighting fixtures.

The farmstead reflects the wealth of its early owner and was once home to an award-winning China Poland herd operation. The site holds many more secrets that are revealed once you step back in time and tour the beautiful buildings.
