Quilt Block: ’Wagon Wheel’ with ‘Circle 7′ family brand.
Owners: Chuck and Bev Ballard
The barn was built in 1900 for hay storage and horses and currently is utilized for farm storage. The barn’s diagonal bracing is very unusual in the valley, but has served the farm well. It has been able to withstand the considerable winds over the last century.
The Ballard farm has been in the Ballard Family for six remarkable generations! The quilt block is dedicated to the memory of family-member,Greg Ballard, a well-loved firefighter in our county.
The Ballard family’s original land holdings are still intact, a rarity in agriculture today. The land on the hill above the farm was donated for the one-room, Teanaway school in 1904. The school was deeded to the Swauk Teanaway Grange in 1947
