The barn has also been restored and the outbuildings rebuilt.
The New England style side-hill barn now houses horses and cattle.
Oats and wheat are stored in the barn's granary and hay and straw are
stacked in the bays. The pigs and sheep are housed in their own sheds,
the poultry in a period chicken coop. A machine shed holds the plows and
implements and corn dries in the corncrib. All of these "plan book"
farm buildings are built to patterns from the 1850s with period
hardware and construction techniques.
