Kurt Anhder talks about the history of Richmond, some details about the historic barn on his property, and information about other barns in the area. The house and barn were originally built by the Fullers. The house was built in 1908 and the barn between 1920 and 1930. He says that a barn with a cement silo was probably not built any later than this. His barn has tongue and groove construction and wooden pegs. He thinks it was originally used as a horse barn and it has a tack room. Animals used to graze under the west side of the barn because the shape of the landscape allowed a space under there. Unfortunately, the sound of the recording is very bad, and it is hard to hear.

In this interview with 'Arnie' Christensen, we learn about his past connection with the property, the dairy industry in Wellsville, and his work in the barn with his father-in-law. There is some information about the Bankhead family who built the barn. Arnie goes by A.J. Christensen.

Dee Gibbons worked on the Morgan farm when he was 14, so he has first hand memories of the place. Later in his life he came to own the place in 1981. The barn was built by the Morgan's and there was a sawmill right nearby. Historic photos reveal that the lean-to, or manger and silo were built first, before the main bay of the barn on the west side of the manger. Before the main bay of the barn was built, these would have been where the hay was loaded for the cows to eat from inside the manger.

Junior and Sherrie Goring are the owners of the historic Hampton Ford barn in Collinston, Utah. This barn was the point of crossing the Bear River to continue on the California and Oregon trails. Sherrie and her first husband Herb Hammond bought the property from the Biglers, and when Herb was killed in a plane crash and she married Junior, they opened up a restaurant at the historic home on the site. Junior shares a few details about this history around the kitchen table at his home in Deweyville. Sherrie is in the room but only briefly. The Hampton Ford Station was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. The original part being built in 1866 makes the barn 137 years old at the time of this research.

During a visit with 96 year old Ruth Jensen I intended to find out how much she might know about the Collinston area. Especially of interest were the old buildings on the east side of the road as you travel on Highway 38 going south. There is an old red building which was once the Colliston store, an old home, and a barn. These were owned by Ruth Jensen's husband's family. After the parents died, another son took over, and when he died the current owners bought the place. After establishing some of these facts, Ruth talks about the Bigler farm where she spent her married life. At the time of this interview, Ruth was living in a newer home built on the farm property. Her husband's grandfather, Mark Bigler, built the original rock house and barn. These buildings were built in 1887 and the barn right around the same time. The farm has been given a Century Farm designation, since it has been in the Bigler/Jensen farm for over 100 years. Ruth's daughter-in-law has taken over ownership of the farm, and there are plans to use the property to farm again. As a Century Farm, they are interested in having visitors and being listed in the guided barn tour publication in the process of being produced.

The Holmgren's bought the property from John Larsen. Tamara's grandfather was David Holmgren. He was the mayor in Tremonton and built the Midland Hotel in Tremonton and ran that and then built the barn. Tamara's parents were the next owners after her grandfather until 1988, when Tamara and her husband Claire bought it. Current use of the barn includes hay storage, chickens and goat quarters, and a wreath making area. The farm is on the National Historic Register.

Gayla Rounds and her husband own property in Nibley, Utah and it has a barn. When they first bought the property, Gayla's first inclination was to tear the barn down, but her husband encouraged her to see the benefit of keeping the building and renovating it. A few weeks before this interview, the Rounds had a crew come out from the Utah Conservation Corps to work on their barn. They were one of the first, if not the first, to have their application for preservation approved and the work done. Sullivan Blau is the original owner and builder of this barn.
