Brunner Farmhouse — Built 1919. One of the first homesteads in the area, the recently restored home relocated to The Field open space near Midway Boulevard and Main Street, is an example of the farm community Broomfield once was. Lester Brunner grew up in the house when it was on the family's dairy farm at the corner of 120th Avenue and Ash Street. "It was a great place to grow up, especially in that time," Brunner said. Broomfield was almost all farmland then. There were at most 500 people living in a 10-mile radius, he said. That didn't stop them from coming together to aid their neighbors when they needed it. "When you needed help, they helped you, and when they needed help, you went to help them," Brunner recalled. The same community spirit saved the house. After it was donated to the city in 1998 it was moved to The Field to make way for development along 120th Avenue.
