In 1953 Circle D Farm was purchased by the Dowd family and operated as a Dairy farm. The family continued to maintain the herd of over a 100 cows and milking operation for several years. Then in 1979, Tim Dowd Sr. developed the idea to use a portion of the land to operate a summer day camp. Utilizing the barn, milking parlor and a few other buildings Circle D Summer Day Camp opened. The remainder of the farm was used for crop production. Over the years, the camp grew; adding tennis courts, an in-ground pool, a baseball field, and other amenities.

The following year after opening the camp, the Dowd family received many requests to use the Day Camp facility for company picnics. In response, the family opened the grounds on the weekends for such functions. Since then, the farm has continued to expand and now offers the following: a summer camp, an indoor and outdoor tennis facility, picnic grounds, Lounge with bar and a full service banquet room, and an outdoor wedding ceremony site. Circle D Farm is proud to provide our community with plenty of recreation and entertainment in our beautiful country setting.
