MACKEL BARN PROJECT:The
Horsemen Association is currently in the process of reconstructing the
historic Mackel Barn which was moved from northern Allen County to our
farm south of Auburn. The 1860's vintage barn will be a tremendous
addition to our museum campus and provide a first hand look at where
working draft animals were housed when they were the "farm tractor" on
every farm! Your support is needed to help raise funding for this
project. Contributions may be tax deductible to this non-profit
charitable organization.
PROJECT
UPDATE: The barn is 90% complete with only a few more jobs to go! Thanks to all that supported the restoration of this historic barn! We hope the barn and chapel will make a great community event site for all to enjoy!
