Bank Barn

In the summer of 1984, the adjacent lot became available. It had been the site of the barn which had been part of the property and was the entrance to town at that time. William Sweet had passed away and his three daughters were willing to sell the property to the Museum for $5,000. Purchase was approved by the members at the June 28 meeting. The barn had burned in the late 1960’s, leaving only the stone foundation walls on the 50 by 80 foot lot.

For the last 25 years, the only thing that remains is the stone foundation. The Board of Directors organized a master plan for the site to rebuild the barn and try to make it a functioning part of the museum. Coupled with that is to improve the infrastructure to provide a concrete sidewalk and curbs to enhance safety.
