Edgemoor Farm Dairy Barn

The Edgemoor Farm Dairy Barn is an agricultural building from the early 1900s with a distinctive Dutch gambrel roof. The structure was built specifically to house dairy cattle and included spaces for milk handling and storage.

The building was constructed in 1913 and developed into a modern operation recognized for breeding advances. After decades as a private facility, it passed to public ownership in 1923.

The structure shows how farming shaped daily life in the region and how dairy operations were central to the community. Visitors can see how the building was designed specifically for milk production and animal care.

The building is located on the eastern edge of Santee and functions as a museum managed by the Santee Historical Society. Comfortable shoes and careful footing are recommended when visiting this older structure.

The property gained recognition in the early 1920s for its scientific breeding methods from a national breeders organization. This made it a model for modern farming techniques in the region at that time.
