Did you know that Santa’s Barn is our old milk house? Where the table with the village is, sat our 800 gallon milk tank. Where the fireplace is was our wash sink. Where Santa (our big stuffed guy) sits was our office.  We got out of dairy in 2005 and now just raise crops and a couple steers every year. 

The Dents built the updated milking parlor in 1979. Prior to that, the cows were milked in stanchions in the basement of our big barn.
