Built by Al Kroll and Bill Turner in 1918, it was constructed to house both milk cows and horses and provide hay storage; this building was an integral part of the Farm and was used consistently until Bill Turner’s death in 1976.
Horsehair was added to the chinking to make it stronger, and when it was chinked in the restoration, horsehair was saved and added. There was a time a person would be able to see some of it in the chinking. Very few examples of two-story log barns still exist in Chaffee County today. Of those remaining, most have notched logs.
