Are Our Historic Homes & Old Farmsteads Still Standing?

Preserving Hunter–Granger’s Farmstead Legacy
Once a community rooted in agriculture, Hunter–Granger rapidly shifted into suburban and commercial growth after the 1950s. What remains of its early farmsteads is rare and significant. The following properties still retain farm buildings, structures, and landscapes that tell the story of the valley’s farming past.

Historic Farmsteads in Question

Over the years, many of our early Hunter–Granger farmsteads have disappeared under the growth of neighborhoods and businesses. The following locations still show signs of small farm buildings—granaries, wells, coops, and stone structures—but we are unsure if they remain standing today.
