Hovander Farm is a wondrous old farm that was given to the state in 1969. It must have been quite the place. The stately home is one of the most stunning pieces of architecture in the county. It was built with a Swedish flare and may be the prettiest home in the community!
There are plenty of animals in the farmyard, and these turkeys take the prize for attracting attention! We also saw goats, bunnies, ducks, and geese. As the season warms more animals are brought to the farm for all to enjoy.
We had free run of the farm for quite a while, until the buses pulled in and dropped off several loads children. What a great experience for school kids. Many visitorscome here to picnic, pet the animals and play along the Noosack River. Dogs welcome!
We look forward to finding out more about Bellingham. There appears to be an endless supply of wide open spaces and natural beauty to explore.

I always say if the kids move away at least let it be a great place to visit.
Bellingham is truly beautiful! There is so much variety there!
Thanks for stopping by...as I followed through, I noticed I stopped by way back...as I read your Mother's Day tribute to your special friend.
You were only one hour from my place if you were in Bellingham.
There is nothing like living in the country and I love sharing that with my grandsons.
I've been to that farm! The museum was closed the day we were there but I got great outdoor pictures.
And I look forward to finding out more about Bellingham through your camera lens!! Beautiful shots Flower! Our DIL graduated from Western in Bellingham...

WE have friends from Bellingham, and we used to visit Bellingham . It IS beautiful and get your passport because Canada is so close you might as well visit there too. There are so many beaches and forests, plus beautiful farms....I really love my state, Washington, and find I can never get enough of her beauty. So many places to just soak it up, You get the best of Oregon AND Washington Flower. I think I would very much like to visit this place.
Your granddaughter is sooooo cute!
Loved your "Little Red Hen" post! Such a pretty place to visit! Blessings,Kathleen
Nice trip and I love that turkey...cant recall the last time I saw one that is unfrozen :O
Thank you for such a lovely post with beautiful pictures. I grew up in Bellingham and it's definitely as beautiful as your pictures. It was a magical place to have a childhood and I do hope that my children will have as magical of a childhood. Your post was a nice journey into the past. Thank you!
