Throughout the many years I’ve been visiting the river, I have always admired the silvery steel barns arranged along Rt.12 in Clayton.
Today, I had the opportunity to get a little closer.
Zenda Farm, a “modern” farm operated throughout the 1950′s, is now owned by the Thousand Islands Land Trust.
From Thousand Islands Life:
TILT, the simple name for the Thousand Islands Land Trust, is a non-profit organization that owns over 3500 acres of land, much of which is open to the public. TILT is dedicated to protecting the unique character of the Thousand Islands region while trying to provide a balance between preserving natural areas and ensuring that responsible development may continue to occur.
Here’s a recent article about Zenda Farm from the Watertown Daily Times.
Interesting. Thanks.
The farm is on Route 12E (not 12; it is confusing because they cross one another) and is less than two miles west of the Village of Clayton.
Thanks for the clarification Ted. Zenda Farm is a beautiful collection of structures, don’t you think?
