When you enter The Barn, in many ways, you step back in time. Originally a working dairy barn built around 1880, the building has been completely transformed, while maintaining its historical integrity. Roughly 14 cows used to be milked in what is now the tavern, and you can see how the posts are worn smooth from them rubbing their necks on them. Upstairs, hay was piled most of the way to the roof on both sides, while horses and implements were under the loft in what is now part of the kitchen. (About 6 miles)
