It began with fifty acres bought by John W. Sannick in 1819 and includes a farmhouse, barn, outbuildings, a quarry and a sluiceway.","why_significant":"The farm is significant under Criteria A and C, with areas of significance in agriculture, architecture, industry and ethnic heritage. It was owned by a Black family, whose early members appear to have been born into slavery, from 1819 through the early twentieth century. It retains agricultural buildings and fields along with a bluestone quarry and a sluiceway and dam tied to nineteenth-century industry.","narrative":"Sannick Family Farm occupies 71 acres in a broad valley east of the Chenango River, near South Oxford in Chenango County, New York. John W. Sannick bought the first fifty acres in 1819, and his grandson Peter Augustus Blake Sannick added twenty-eight more in 1875. Family research suggests the early Sannicks were born into slavery and were likely freed in Dutchess County before settling here. The farm keeps a one-and-a-half-story farmhouse with an early wing, a corncrib or granary, a bank barn with a stave silo and a milk house. Fields, hedgerows, stone walls and a small orchard remain. A bluestone quarry in the bed of Eddy Brook, with an adjacent sluiceway and a stone dam that once fed mills downstream, records nineteenth-century industry. The property is significant for agriculture, architecture, industry and ethnic heritage between about 1819 and 1924.","period_of_significance":"c1819-c1924","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"no style","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Historic and current functions are both listed as domestic (single dwelling) and agricultural.
