Leonard Baird Farmhouse & Barn, circa mid-1960s

Leonard Baird Farmhouse & Barn, circa mid-1960s: The image depicts Leonard Baird Farm in Sugar Loaf featuring a large white farmhouse with a porch, nestled amidst leafless trees, and a prominent barn with a striking red roof standing in the background; a dirt driveway in the foreground alongside a white fence that stretches across the landscape, under a sky dotted with fluffy clouds, evoking a peaceful, pastoral atmosphere that suggests the arrival of spring, as scattered patches of greenery hint at spring's new growth.
