TURN OF THE CENTURY BARN

Our two-story barn was built at the turn of the century and provides a wonderful old-fashioned atmosphere. Originally built by an Amish family in 1904 as a dairy barn, this gambrel style barn has been restored and converted into two separate halls, an upper level named the “Hayloft Barn” and a lower level named the “Dairy Barn”. Both feature natural lighting and finished flooring. Inside the barn, you will find old world charm as the original hand hewn beams and logs are still intact.


HAYLOFT BARN



The 2100 square foot upper level with 30 foot ceiling, originally the hayloft, was built to store hay and farm equipment. This level includes the original grainary, which has now been converted into restrooms. The upper level will accommodate up to 100 guests.
The Hayloft Barn is available at the price of $1000. The maximum capacity is 100 people.


BRIDAL SUITE

Bridal Suite Is Available For The Entire Day For $400. Finished knotty pine planks line the walls of this comfortable and cozy suite, where you can relax with plenty of seating and air conditioning.


WILD WEST BARN

In 1999, a second barn was built to accommodate large groups of up to 200 guests on one level. Finished knotty pine planks line the walls of this 3500 square foot barn with a 25 foot high cedar ceiling, lending a charming feel to any event held here. The Wild West barn is available at the price of $1,500.
