What's the ranch up to lately?

Updated: Calling All Available Hands for Barn Demolition..... 

6/16/2015

Update:  This project is about to get underway.  The barn in question is just outside of Martinez.  For all of those that are still interested please call me at (925) 890-4482 or email me at CRousset@comcast.net with your contact information ASAP.

Again thank you for your interest,



Christian (Chris) Rousset
Board Director &
Chair of Structures & Grounds Committee,
Rodgers Ranch Heritage Center.

PictureBarn slated for demo circa 1895 - 1910
As you may know, the last great project for Rodgers Ranch is the restoration of our wheat barn, circa 1869.  We have fallen into some good fortune because another barn, pictured above, is slated for demolition, and the wood has been promised to us in exchange for labor.  This wood will provide us with enough material to complete the rebuilding of the wheat barn at Rodgers Ranch.  

This is a great volunteer opportunity for anyone, professional builder or not, who would like to help with said demolition and the eventual reconstruction of the barn. This fun project will take several months to complete, so therefor we will be working on it both during the week and weekends. If you are interested in helping us take down one barn and re-construct another, please send your contact information to me using either email address: CRousset@comcast.net or info@rodgersranch.org

Thank you for your interest,


Christian (Chris) Rousset
Board Director &
Chair of Structures & Grounds Committee,
