Notes
  • Significance: With the passing of the Donation Land Claim Act in 1850, Congress agreed to grant land in the Oregon Territory to American settlers willing to farm it. It was during this time when settlement of Central Whidbey Island accelerated, and when James C. Davis staked his claim in west woodlands overlooking Ebey's Prairie. Davis farmed his land until his death in 1868. At that time the Cook family purchased the land and continued to farm. The property passed amongst the Cook family for generations. In 1947, after renting for more than 10 years, Clark and Dorothy Sherman bought the land and rapidly accelerated its farming industry. The Shermans ran a turkey farm on the land, reaching its peak in the 1960s with 100,000 turkeys. The farm was incorporated in 1964, along with other land owned by the Shermans, including the historic Le Sourd farm, which housed a small dairy operation. In 1975, when the turkey business ceased, the Sherman farm became the service-end of the dairy. It provides the silage pits, mechanic, grain and hay storage, and feed production resources needed to sustain the dairy's current 800-cow operation. Clark Sherman and the farming community of Coupeville built the barn in 1935 after a fire destroyed its predecessor. Its construction technique is typical for this time period, and can be found in two other barns in the area. The plank frame construction technique was ideal because it saved up to sixty percent of building materials, required fewer builders, quickened the construction time, opened the floor plan in the hayloft, and eases the construction of additions onto the barn.
