1881’s mission is to reconnect the community with the delicate agricultural systems of the American West. A 15-acre community farm park and home to the Windler Center for Agriculture in Aurora, Colorado, the Centennial Homestead is one Aurora’s last remaining vernacular farms. At its height in the early twentieth century, Windler Farm measured some 800 acres, functioning as a dairy farm and cattle ranch. Its location on the high prairie and the remaining buildings continue to convey the story of the Windler family and represent early dryland farming practices in eastern Colorado.
