Barn in Winter

My daughter took these pictures of the barn while it was snowing.

I mentioned reunions, this was our 30th anniversary. Several motorcycle buddies showed, maybe they like wine, beer, friends and explosives better than the open road.We can furnish fireworks for your event as we operate a seasonal stand and retain inventory. I should mention the barn has 4 levels as the last photo illustrates looking in from the pond side.

Barne's Barn background, or who knew the moo moo

So lets talk about this barn, it was built in 1890 by the Barnes family, he was a county commissioner and a justice of the peace, and a civil war veteran. They built the barn and lived in it while the house was remodeled that summer. We have recently fixed the roof, replaced the bridge into the second floor and hauled out 30 pickup loads of old hay, straw and debris. Since 2005 we have hosted family reunions, corporate picnics, hosted civic groups such as Rotary and PEO. We also went back to the farm's roots and held a district Republican meeting with fifty in attendance. I am a county Republican chair as was Judge Barnes.

We are currently working on the lower level and have done a lot of wiring upgrades. We now have enough electrical service to support a band sound system and lights and plan to add a modern bathroom and a deck overlooking the new half acre pond.

The barn is for rent for a nominal sum for rustic weddings, reunions, wine tastings, or company dinners. We have the start of a small vineyard and hope to someday market our own wine.
