Tour Lilywood Farms

I had the privilege to travel to Lilywood Farms before they closed to the public, after 9 years of tours, although they still sell online.  Lilywood Farms is located in north central Missouri, is set in beautiful farm country. The farm has been in the current family since 1871. The land is still being farmed, with 3 acres devoted to daylilies. The house, outbuildings and grounds are immaculate.

You can see the date the house was built.

This had been the smoke house. The grandchildren were playing in the wading pool the day we were there.

This building was the slave quarters. Missouri was a slave state.

                                           Some of the daylily fields up close to the house.

View from the front porch of the house. Notice the cornfields and then the cut wheat fields in the background.

That happy girl is me, with my big clump of daylilies!
