Welcome to The Conrad Botzum Farmstead website. For those of you who have visited us in the past, things might look a little different. We’ve recently upgraded our site to make it easier to update and incorporate some new technology. If you would like to see pictures, please type photos in the Search Box or go to the specific area of interest.

George has taken over the updating of the site and is having a little difficulty with his new role. It can be tough jumping off of a tractor and jumping onto a keyboard. Stay with me, I’ll get it.

The Botzum Farmstead seeks to be a very family friendly facility, so our website, especially the things we communicate to you will have a ‘down home’ feel. We want our facility to be warm and inviting and we hope the same for the website.

Our Summer Concert Series ‘Music at the Farmstead’ Committee is 2/3 behind us. For information on the 2008 Series please click on ‘Music’. The first two concerts have been wonderful. You still have time to get in on the third.

The new ‘permanent’ toilet facilities are up and functioning on the property. The cosmetics are not quite finished as I write this, but we hope to put on the final touches during the summer and autumn. The handicapped accessible toilets and lavs are a welcome addition to the farmstead. Somehow we just couldn’t get our brides, with their poofy dresses, comfortable with the modern blue plastic boxes. Oh well!

Check back with us often and please drop us an email, through the website, with questions or comments.
Check out the Music @ The Farmstead page for our upcoming music events.

A 2002 view of the Botzum Farmstead from the air. The 1898 Bank Barn and Canopy Covered Deck is to the right with the 1885 Sweitzer Barn just right of the center. Our circa 1890 Machine Shed is below the barns. To the left of center is the ‘turn-of-the-century’ milk house. Running diagonally across the top are the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad Tracks. The scenic North Meadow is at the bottom with the South Meadow behind the Barns.
Beautiful autumn leaves behind the 1898 Bank Barn.
