The signed contract for the Legacy money was received last week.\u00a0 One more step toward the start of the restoration work for the north barn.\u00a0 This week the contractors; Hansen HomeTech, Creature Works, Historic Structural supervisor Todd Grover and the CCHS Executive Director Wendy Petersen Biorn will attend a phone conference with the State Historic Preservation Office,\u00a0 (SHPO).\u00a0 In this conference, we discuss the overall plan, and the five project Milestones that need to be met, as the project progresses.<\/p>\n
March 7th through the 11th, volunteers will arrive on the farm to start the clean up around the north barn.\u00a0 If you are interested in helping clean things up, contact Heidi Gould at the CCHS.\u00a0 952-442-4234<\/p>\n
The U of M has at least three classes working on projects in association with the farm.\u00a0 The classes are part of Carver County’s Resilient Communities Project. The projects being worked on by the U of M include:<\/p>\n
Joseph Pnewski who is working on a base line archaeology project for his Masters degree.\u00a0 He is planning on running an archaeological field school at the Peterson Farm from May 23rd through June 10th. It is likely that he will be only there for the first two weeks (May 23rd through June 3rd) and on a different location for the final week, but he wanted to give us a full range of dates just in case things change.<\/p>\n
A U of M class that is working toward updating the Andrew Peterson National Register Nomination.<\/p>\n
A landscape architecture class that is looking at either finding the best place for the parking lot and\/or access via Parley Lake Road or designing way finding signs for the property.<\/p>\n
and,<\/p>\n
A Scandinavian class that will look at how to draw more tourism to the site.<\/p>\n
In addition to the U of M classes, the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota, (PAM), will be holding public historic preservation classes at the farm.\u00a0 Their classes focus on teaching people how to preserve plaster and windows in old houses.<\/p>\n
The list continues to grow.\u00a0 It is with great excitement that we look forward to the coming months.<\/p>\n
