Field Notes
According to Joseph Garbus, President of the Walnut Beach Association (WBA), “The Stowe family obtained the property in the 1890's and had a ‘barn raising’ shortly thereafter. In the 1900’s the farm was well known for growing onion seeds and the barn held oxen, horses and plows on the bottom and hay and grain on the top floor.” Shortly after being purchased by a real estate developer, The City of Milford acquired the Stowe Barn in 2002. Presently the WBA, along with the Fine Arts Council has been trying to obtain the barn to establish an Arts Center.
