3 Farm Remembered

4 BRIEF HISTORY The farm had animals to hand feed and was a place that many got introduced to the animal kingdom through family and school trips. There was also a miniature train ride that would take you through the five acres of farm. The location of Lollipop Farm was the old Jackson Farm, which also had been a stagecoach stop. Lollipop Farm closed after finding homes for all the animals in 1967 when its owners retired.
