The farm has been in the family since 1868. The barn was built shortly after the Revolutionary War but we have no date. The adjoining farm house dates from 1802 and replaced a smaller one that only had two rooms. The barn was near collaps in 1970. The sills were mostly gone and the bottom of half of the hand-hewn posts had to be cut off. It was originally a 40 x 50 structure but I kinda got carried away. The building should last another couple of centuries. I put in an apartment in a hay loft where the windows are. The rest is storage or shop space. It is located 25 miles from Boston. The original town was incorporated in 1655. It is the largest barn in town now. Less than a mile away was a four story barn with a huge ramp to get wagons into the third loft. I never saw it; only pictures. It must have been 100 x 250 feet. The Catholic church took over the property in the depression and built a seminary.
