Zanger Barn Teardown - Another Lost Minnesota Barn

- Growth around the Minneapolis and St. Paul area in Minnesota continues expanding into the rural areas that once held numerous family farms. One of the latest farms lost to development is the George A. Zanger farm, which was located in the southwest Twin Cities suburbs. George built the barn in 1900, but there were many other buildings on the farmstead as well. This parcel of land has been sold for commercial development, so all the buildings are being torn down. One more century barn comes down, wiping away the history at this location. View the site as it stood before its final demolition.

one, possibly 2 generations from now no child will know what a family farm was like unless these video remain. Someone's dream.
Cookie cutter houses and Amazon vans as far as the eye can see, it doesn't feel like progress to me. Goodbye Zanger Farm, it was good while it lasted !
Time is a river, relentlessly reducing its banks to the two absolutes of existence: moment and memory. Thank you for investing the time, energy and resources needed to create your content. Your efforts remind us that yesterday's moments have inestimable value.
Thanks for taking the time to document the past. Throughly enjoyed!
Thank you for documenting these sites. We have pictures of our farm along with our grandparents before they were torn down but the video you have here adds so much more depth to the history lost.
All of the hopes and dreams and lifetimes of work gone
I have an old Chaska brick farmhouse between Waconia and Young America, so drive past that barn quite often. It is sad to see the old buildings going away, but most people don't care anymore. Thanks for your work on your channel.
Another awesome video! Thank you!
So sad seeing this farm being demolished like this. I still remember when there was farm equipment in the farm yard not that long ago.
👍👍 TY,,,,,,!!!!!
The shed showed a 3:01 is on beams and axles and waiting to be moved off. At least that will get a new life!! As I watched the rest of the video I see you show that! They have it pulled in the main yard now waiting for moving night
😢💔Located on the west side of County Road 11 north of highway 212. It was the last farm in existence on county road 11. Good thing I photographed it a couple of times.
Btw there are a few farms in Corcoran that have brick silos if you want to find them and check them out.
It looks like there was steel on the roof of the big barn, so there had been care given to in some recent years? So sad to see it gone - thank you for documenting
I want a farm so badly, can't afford one.
May I suggest you start focusing on farms in Rogers, and Corcoran? Those old farms are on the edge of suburbia and becoming endangered.
Too late for many, ours was leveled in 2022 and my Grandparents place was torn down last spring. The area is vastly different from what it was. Sad to say but our farm flourished as many around there quit and we were able to build our operation. Now we moved so we can keep going long term and will hold onto what we can in that area as long as it makes sense. Afraid to say it may not be much longer for much of it.
I think some developers get some kind of sick pleasure from tearing down historic buildings or something. I just don't get it. All that open land and they just HAVE to build right there. Makes me so mad.
My Dad moved one or two shed off that farm
Such a shame. So much for “progress”.
Welcome to the American way of change.
