THE STORY

Narrated · Plays hands-free in Travel Mode
Built by an early settler in 1853, this barn was used by regional farmers driving cattle to the Milwaukee market over the Milwaukee-Watertown Plank Road. It was moved from the Plank Road area east of the Rock River to this site in 1963 and restored by the Watertown Historical Society.
