A Gift for the Future

As Told by Josh Lawson

"The Gregory Farm has a long history dating back to 1821 when it was purchased by Charles Gregory through the Homestead Act. The original barn was designed and built in 1909 and has seen many changes over the past 100 years. In September, the Barn served as a chapel for the wedding of a seventh generation member of the Gregory Farm.

The restoration of the barn would benefit our whole community. The owners of the farm, the Esareys, have made a huge commitment to our FFA chapter over the years, inviting us to their farm for barn tours, livestock and horse judging, gardening, and old time farming. We would like to take part in this project, not only as a thank-you for the many contributions this family has given our community, but to help keep a vital part of our small-town history alive for more many more generations."

The Gregory Farm is affiliated with
North Greene FFA and the alumni.
