Back at the turn of the century
(the last century, that is) a gentle old farmhouse stood watch
over a pastoral valley of hay meadows. This log homestead, now the
oldest building in Snowmass Village, was the hub of the 160-acre
Hoaglund sheep ranch. Since 1900, it has been home to numerous families
whose children, now in their eighties, often visit us.
Some 50 years ago, the logs were wrapped in yellow clapboard, and the families were replaced by a succession of businesses including the
original Snowmass powder trip tours, a nursery school, a surveyor's office, a medical clinic, and a French restaurant. BJ Adams and Company
moved in and restored the building in 1994. Our favorite times here are
when old friends, who still remember the ranching days, drop by to
share stories of the quiet years.

Their history and soul fill every room.
