An Historical Perspective

During the planning process of this barn, special thought was given into using local wood, rock, contractors, wood workers and natural elements to complete its rustic charm.

This is a central Appalachian style barn using wood cut from the Smoky Mountains. Uncommon to newer barns was the unique process of using a circle saw, from a local saw mill, which marks boards as it was done around the turn of the century which is rare for newer barns.

Eastern red cedar cut in the Virginia mountains is used on the interior of the barn.

Showcased inside the barn is a collection of antiques from generations past. The stone in the fireplace is taken from an old home foundation on the property which dates back as far as the 1800’s. The mantle over the fireplace was cut from a large chestnut oak found fallen in the woods of the property.

It’s been said during the era of Davey Crockett an old road, on the property behind the barn, was traveled in the early 1800’s during the Indian wars.
