Reichert Family Barn
History
1
This historic barn was built around 1750 on a 21 acre farm off Pine Neck Road on the southwestern side of the hamlet. The earliest known owner of the barn was John Corwin, who mentioned it in his will in 1815. In 1961, Lillian Breidstadt and Edith Breidstadt Mailer, the last owners of the farm, gave the barn to the Society. The only way to move the structure safely was to completely disassemble it. The building and its foundation were then carefully reassembled at the Historical Society. Today, the barn houses a transportation display featuring carriages and sleighs from the North Fork. The Barn Annex was built in 1966 to house all kinds of small farm equipment. It also contains a carpenter shop display with many handmade tools.
