This log tobacco barn, the only surviving one in Henrico County, originally stood off Lanceor Drive west of Staples Mill Road on property owned by the Cross family. In 2000, Staples Mill, L.C. donated the barn to Henrico County, which moved it two miles east to Meadow Farm. The barn dates to the early twentieth century but resembles similar barns from the nineteenth century. Tobacco was a major cash crop in Virginia, and John Mosby Sheppard grew it here between 1855 and 1860.
