Calf Barn 1765
(reconstructed)
According to a 1766 map a calf barn was erected on this site in 1765. The map suggests it was made of two equal sized barns, like this one, connected by an open roofed area. The current structure, a late 18th or early 19th-century timber-framed barn was moved here and restored in 1993.
"A wagon loaded with butter left for the market at Newbern. The store here has bought about 3000 lbs. of butter."

"During this month and last more than 1000 head of cattle have been driven by here on the way to Pennsylvania."
