A Museum in Itself
The original garage that stood where the current 2-car brick structure stands today was a wood building. It is unknown when the original garage was built, but this building is estimated to be erected sometime in the mid-1950's.
The purpose of the garage was to store the Gilfillan Family vehicle. Today, the garage houses and displays several cars that were found in the haylofts of the barns. According to the master plan, no restoration work is required. However, a dehumidifer was installed to eliminate moisture and protect the Gilfillan's vehicles.
