Historic dairy opened to spark public

The Wilder Ranch has been open to the public to spark interest in preservation of the historic property. The Cremery burned down 30 years but the outbuildings still remain. However, those buildings are slowly crumbling and it is hoped that momentum can get established to preserve the property. Includes a nice picture of the horse barn.
