For many years before Glendale was purchased by our family in 1917, all the way through the mid-1960’s, the original barn housed milking herds, horses, ponies and a few 4H animal husbandry projects as well. Hay was stored in the hay barn on top, and the livestock was housed below. After an estimated 80-90 years of service, the building was beyond repair and eventually dismantled in the early 70’s.
In 1989, this barn was built on the same site to begin our boarding business. A tack room and hayloft are on the upper floor, with a grooming area immediately adjacent to the tack room. All stalls are on the ground floor.
