Historic Preservation When visiting a farm website, you may wonder why we have devoted a section to Historic Preservation and Restoration. The answer is simple... Ralph Anderson, the owner of Anderson Circle Farm, is an avid historical scholar and supporter. Ralph serves as an active member of the Kentucky Historical Society's Board of Trustees, and provides financial, information technology, architectual, and construction support for multiple local and state historical organizations. |

Anderson Circle Farm is located in the heart of the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky. This region was the first settled region of Kentucky as pioneers made their way westward during the mid to late 1700's. As a result, his region is the home of multiple historical sites with many dating back over 200 years. |

Buildings need not be world famous to be restored and preserved. Few of them are, yet each in its own way is no less important than our world famous buildings. They all help tell our nation's story. They are part of the rich heritage of technology and aesthetics, faith and conflict, innovation and tradition that define us as Americans. Our national character was shaped by the history that was made in these places. Our society's daily life, culture, beliefs, and values are reflected in many ways. Architecture serves as one of the most vivid visual snapshots of time. Historic preservation preserves and fosters the use and reuse of historic buildings which add significantly to a community's distinctiveness, personality, and diversity. Historic preservation encourages pride and reinvestment in older existing neighborhoods, thus stabilizing and enhancing values. Preservation can play an important role in strengthening a sense of community and improving the quality of life. To this end, we are actively involved not only on Anderson Circle Farm, but in multiple locations within the State of Kentucky. |
