The inspiration behind A Barn was our youngest daughter wanting to get married at home.   We spent the summer cleaning out, fixing up and adding lighting.  When her special day arrived our family and friends kept telling us we should open as a venue. Although we have held private parties here many times the idea of opening our home to the public was something new.  The 2015 season was our trial year and we scheduled just a few events; weddings, anniversary party and a birthday party.  We so enjoyed being a part of those celebrations we can not wait to host many more. ​
