The farm was donated to WVU back in 1916. The Greek-revival farm house dates back around 1850. It reminded me of "The Willows" in Moorefield — see this post from 2010 and compare them.
On Saturday, we arrived just in time for a hayride tour. (See the video below.) It included a stop at two greenhouse-type buildings. Both had water from a nearby spring flowing through, which kept temperatures moderate all year. The first building was used for raising golden trout and the second for raising vegetables and flowers.
