The barn reconstruction project is coming along great! Thanks to your many generous donations, we were able to find a very similar barn in storage in Willsboro and reconstruct it on our old barn site. Stop by and see this summer if you are in the area!

1812 Update: Thanks to the many contributions from all of our friends, the 1812 Homestead is starting to recover. The barn reconstruction project is going very smoothly. Unbelievably, we were able to find a disassembled barn just like it in storage in Willsboro! So lucky! Stop by and see if you are in the area this summer. We couldn't have done it without the help of all of you!!!!

OPEN HOUSE THIS SATURDAY! Saturday, 9/24 from 9am to 2pm. No big activities planned, just a low-key day to visit the Homestead, share your own memories or stories, and learn more about what's next for this historic farm & museum. The event is totally free, and you can bring your friends (and a picnic, too!) There will be a bike tour zipping through, too....so come on out and cheer on the cyclists from Bike The Barns while you're at it. Please stop in if you're in the area!
