Ninna’s Barn before (above) and after (below) reciving a Heritage Barn Grant.

12 TRUSTNEWS January 2017 In 1948, Henry Frost sold his farm, along with the still new-ish barn, to Ralph and Virginia Keeting. Ralph, a retired Naval Officer, attended night school to learn the ropes for becoming a dairy farmer, as a small herd of Holstein, Guernsey, and Jersey milking cows came with the farm. Ralph kept up the milking operation for nearly 20 years, switching to beef cattle in the 1960s. Today, Ralph and Virginia’s daughter, Deborah Keeting‑Hansen, lives on the farm with her husband Paul. Together, they run a sheep operation while continuing to store hay and farm equipment and shelter the animals in the barn. Deborah fondly remembers her childhood spent sleeping atop the hay in the barn on warm summer nights, much to the dismay of an aunt from Boston who worried the children would be eaten by the Olympic Peninsula’s notorious bears. Although built by Frost and situated on Frost Road, Deborah and Paul affectionately refer to the barn as Ninna’s Barn – a nickname for her mother, Virginia. The honor Nine-year-old Deborah Keeting‑Hansen in front of Ninna’s Barn during the winter is an appropriate one: upon passing, of 1959/1960 holding barn kittens Dona and Fay and with her brother’s dog Mike.
