The Great Barn is the jewel of the farmstead. She is an historic American barn meticulously preserved with center drive train, upper mows, hay trolley, ladder, hand-hewn beams & queen posts.

Look carefully for the architectural "marriage marks" struck into the lofty beams tying family together with love & strength.

These paddocks, used for galloping horses, have all the best views of the farmstead, pastures &, of course, the sunset!
