Found this little gem yesterday on one of my fall, no leaf drives. Had probably driven by it a few times and missed it with leaves on the trees.
Original was built in 1850, and the guy I talk to said it was a corn crib. I can believe a barn or shed, but the workmanship seemed to nice for a corn crib.
It has been very nicely rebuilt, with a full second story added.
It is now be used as a meeting place for a local black powder rifle club. A perfect idea for such a group.
Two of the members were there when I found it, and were able to give me a little history of the rebuild.
They had a nice little stove going inside which kept it plenty comfortable.
It sits on property that at one time hosted the
Deutsch Country Days festival. Unfortunately, the festival no longer takes place after almost 50 years.
Hope this group gets to use this site for many more years.
