Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Ronald V. Jensen Living Historical Farm, a program of Utah State University, was started in 1970 with a donation from USU agriculture alumnus, R. V. Jensen, who specified that his gift be used to establish a working farm museum that involved students in its operation. The museum was located on 120 acres near Wellsville in southern Cache Valley, Utah, at the former Franklin H. Wyatt farm. Buildings representative of Cache Valley's history were relocated to the site to re create a historic family farm. (The original Frank Wyatt farmhouse still exists on the property but had been modernized and was not suitable for inclusion.) The collections of the Man and His Bread Museum, an indoor museum of agriculture-related artifacts founded on the USU campus in the late 1950s, were also relocated to the Jensen Historical Farm site.
In 1985 folklorist and outdoor museum specialist Jay Allan Anderson was hired to direct the Jensen Historical Farm museum and establish a master's degree program in outdoor museum administration. Anderson changed the farm's time period from a generic "pioneer farm" to the year 1917, a prosperous year for Cache Valley farmers and a date which the museum's artifact collections could support. During Anderson's tenure at the Farm (1985-1993), graduate students operated all aspects of the museum, from restoration of artifacts to animal husbandry to research to costumed interpretation. Anderson's students compiled a collection of primary and secondary sources on which to base accurate historical interpretation of a 1917 southern Cache Valley family farm. When Anderson left the farm in 1993, the focus of the program began to shift, so he transferred the research collection to USU Special Collections and Archives. The Jensen Historical Farm was eventually subsumed by the newly formed American West Heritage Center.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The original Jensen Historical Farm research collection included numerous subject files intended to guide the farm's staff in the creation and operation of a living history farm. Much of the material consisted of photocopied items held elsewhere in USU Library holdings and therefore were subsequently removed. Items that were retained in this seventeen-box collection fall into three main categories: Cache Valley history, material produced by the Jensen Farm, and reports done for the Jensen Farm. The first section contains articles, essays, biographies, subject files, and oral histories about the history of Cache Valley. Many of the oral histories are grouped together as part of an NEA Folk Arts Project conducted by USU staff and are cross-referenced with corresponding cassette recordings located in boxes 15-17. The second section includes meeting minutes, planning guides, grant proposals, and visitor information. Notable among these materials are the "1-10s": one-page research data intended for ten-minute assimilation by on-site interpreters. This format, invented by Jensen Farm director Jay Anderson, has been adopted at other outdoor museums. The final section consists of reports, essays, dissertations, and theses written specifically for use by the Jensen Farm. While copies of USU dissertations and theses are also held elsewhere in Special Collections and Archives, these duplicates were retained in this collection due to their direct relevance to the Jensen Farm.
