High Breeze Farm
High Breeze Farm, also known as Barrett Farm, is located in the Highland Lakes section of Vernon Township, in Sussex County, New Jersey, United States.
== History ==
The 160 acre farm, now known as High Breeze Farm, was owned by the Demarest family from approximately 1818 to 1860, when it was purchased by the Barrett family. The main farmhouse was built in 1828 and the barns and outbuildings were built between 1860 and 1935. The Barretts operated it continuously from 1860 to 1986 with very few changes to the original farming methods.〔(), Dupont, Ronald J., Jr. ''Vernon 200: A Bicentennial History of the Township Of Vernon, New Jersey 1792-1992.''

Accessed 5 November 2010.〕 The farm was used mainly for subsistence farming.〔(), Westergaard, Barbara. ''New Jersey: A Guide to the State.''

They raised horses, cows, and chickens and produced hay, corn, turnips, rutabagas, apples, peaches, pears, plums, honey, and maple syrup.〔(), Scherer, Glenn and Don Hopey.

Accessed 5 November 2010.〕 Luther J. Barrett was the last family member to work the farm, operating it “almost as a time capsule of 19th century farming,” using a draft horse for most farm work. At the time of Luther J. Barrett’s death in 1986, the farm had not installed plumbing, central heating, or telephones.〔 The Barretts did, however, install minimal electricity in 1948.〔 The State of New Jersey purchased the property in 1981 and made it part of Wawayanda State Park. In 1989, the State of New Jersey planned the demolition of the farm, but the Vernon Historical Society, specifically through the work of Ron Dupont Jr. struggled to preserve it. Dupont rallied school children and compiled numerous slideshows to show the historic significance of the farm.〔 His efforts were successful, and High Breeze Farm was listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. High Breeze Farm is now the only remaining farm on Wawayanda Mountain. The main house, barn, and outbuildings remain, and are displayed as part of the “living history museum,” as it was restored in 1992.〔 The farm also displays historic farm equipment including mowers, sickle bars, and wrought iron wheels that were used by the Barretts.〔
