BACKSTORY:
Hearing of good land in the Snoqualmie Valley, Jeremiah Borst, a young adventurer and trader, hiked up the Cedar River and into the valley in 1858, finding what he thought was a vast natural prairie ideal for farming.
In 1882, Borst sold much of his property to the Hop Growers Association, which sold it to a Seattle dairy farmer in 1904. In the 1960s, the farm was sold to the Snoqualmie Valley Land Company, a group of local investors, who finally sold the land into public ownership by the Cities of Snoqualmie and North Bend in 1996.
Thanks in part to a Heritage Capital Projects grant from the Washington State Historical Society, the farm constructed an interpretive center to help educate visitors about the farm’s legacy in the Snoqualmie Valley.
