Service Award Presented to Louise Osborn Gardels

On March 12th, 2012 Louise Osborn Gardels was given the prestigious Community Service Award by Loveland’s Namaqua Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution.

Mrs. Gardels’ tireless work on restoring Timberlane Farm was to preserve the farming heritage and family life of the Big Thompson Valley in 1860-1940. Only minutes from downtown Loveland, the farm museum has two homes - one built in 1880, and the other built in 1918. They are authentically furnished with period furnishings, artifacts and memorabilia from bygone eras. Original outbuildings, which add to the farm experience, also have a story to tell. Timberlane Farm Museum allows the community to experience the day-to-day lives of the early valley residents. Without Mrs. Gardels’ dream and prudence to preserve the past for our present and future generations the farming heritage and family life of the Big Thompson Valley could be a thing of the past.

Come to 2306 East First Street in Loveland to experience this exciting part of local history. Hours are 9a.m.- 4p.m. daily.

Timberlane Farm

Timberlane Farm is a working farm museum intending to preserve the 1860 to 1940 life style and farming techniques. The museum offers the unique opportunity to experience the home and farm life in the early days of the Big Thompson Valley.

The restored homes and farm buildings provide a perfect setting for demonstrations hosted by the museum. Farming, barnyard, blacksmithing and gardening activities are scheduled for public observation and participation. A variety of other programs will be made available as development of facilities is completed.

Visit us often to explore our community’s past and to enjoy the working farm atmosphere.
