A Brief History of the Homestead Animal Farm

The Sullivan Farm was originally owned by Dennis Sullivan who willed it  to his brother Daniel Sullivan. Daniel Sullivan willed the farm to his  children Jack, Mary, and Nellie. Nellie ended up with the farm and left  it to her two daughters when she died. Helen Daley and Ruth Harmann then  owned the farm. Helen Daley’s children sold their portion of the farm to  a developer and Ruth Harmann’s portion of the farm is owned today by  Mark and Barbara Harmann. The Sullivan Farm is now Homestead Animal  Farm.
