“For the Good of the Order; The Braget Farm and Land Use in the Nisqually Valley” by Dr. Timothy Ransom is now available for sale in the DuPont Historical Museum. “For the Good of the Order” is a story of the social, political and economic forces at play in the struggle over land use in western Washington State, as told from the perspective of the owners of a dairy farm on the Nisqually River Delta in southern Puget Sound.
Three generations of the Braget family farmed the Nisqually property with a love and affinity for the land that reflected the agricultural background of their Norwegian ancestry and the blood, sweat and tears they spilled there for almost 100 years. In 2002, trying to protect his family’s legacy, Kenny Braget sold the farm to the Nisqually Tribe knowing they valued and shared his love of the land.
