The Moll Bauernhof (meaning Moll Farm in German) was homesteaded by Wendolin Moll, grandfather of the current owner, Frank E. Gould. Wendolin, who was from German speaking Switzerland, settled on this 160 acre homestead near Boulder in 1881. Although crops were grown on a portion of the land during the early years, it was found to be better suited to irrigated pasture land on which beef cattle are raised.
