Welcome to the Daniels Farmstead Foundation - Blackstone, MA |
|
| |
|
The Daniels Farmstead Foundation, Inc. was founded in 2003 with an all volunteer board of directors to preserve a unique historical resource that has survived the modern age in tact. This remarkable find is due to the efforts of Doris Daniels King and her family to preserve the Farm's history and legacy. The Foundation's focus is to provide a place for people to gather, celebrate, and learn the values of a working farm and its traditions. It is our purpose to protect and preserve the rich historically significant farm and buildings located on pristine New England soil, restore the farm to its former splendor, and operate a living museum where local historians, schools, and the general public can learn about the New England Farm life from the 18th and 19th centuries.
The Daniels Farmstead Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
The Farmstead continues its historic use through active hayfield and farm management. To date many events have been held for the public at this historic property. We gratefully acknowledge the interest and support from the various Blackstone Town agencies and Preservation MASS. Historic New England holds the Preservation Restriction on this unique property.
Sorry, No Dogs Allowed |

A message from the President
Dear Friends, Photo: P Boyko
Dear Friends,
It’s Spring 2013 and The Daniels Farmstead Foundation,
Inc is celebrating its 10th anniversary. It’s an exciting
time. The responsibility of preserving this historic property
is huge. We are extremely grateful to the many dedicated
volunteers and members who see this property as the jewel
of the Blackstone Valley.
The Farmhouse exterior restoration was completed
in 2008. The Cider Mill exterior restoration was completed
in 2011. Now it’s time to focus on the interior of the cider mill
building which includes the restoration of three presses. Once
restored, visitors will enjoy apple pressing demonstration at
Daniels Farmstead.
I hope you’ll enjoy reading the following history in
brief of the farmstead.
Warmest Regards
Paulette Boyko ~President |
