Community Center

Above is a map of the Vehe Farm. The centennial barn has undergone a major restoration and renovation. The outbuildings are planned for future restoration and renovation. The barn facilities are available for community meetings and cultural events. Educational and historic displays are also contained in the barn. A wood chip nature trail already encircles the site and may be used for cross country skiing in the winter. The athletic field, pond and wetlands area have been constructed on the eastern portion of the grounds. A tot lot is planned for the future.

A Farmer's Memorial is located in the original barnyard and includes a windmill. Next to the farm house, which serves as the Village of Deer Park office, is the Betty McLaughlin Butterfly Garden. The planned interior paths will connect the buildings, garden areas and wetlands
