Envision Vermont and what pops into your head?  Rolling countryside dotted with antique barns?  Only problem is many of these barns are rapidly disappearing as they collapse in disrepair.

We have an old barn on our farm.  It’s been featured in the movie, Disappearances. Click on the Disappearances gallery and there it is.  They even used a stack of lumber planed by Mountain Man to make their own actor/logger look more authentic.  (Rent the movie and you’ll see lots more of our farm as well.)

But the true meaning of the barn lies in its past when it was the hub of our farm’s life.

Originally, it was a three story structure.
