The barn on our property is in need of some TLC. The main house is a little over 211 years old now, the barn is definitely not that old. The foundation may be 100 or more, we don’t know. A former owner of the property alluded to it being used in the last days of stagecoach travel. It’s a 4 stall horse barn.

We've taken on the care of a 210 year old stone and frame structure that used to be an Inn on the historic Lincoln Highway though it's days as hotel or inn began well before that road received that designation.Read more...
