MEESE IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Auburn – Historic Meese Chapel has arrived at its' new home at the Horsemen's Association campus south of Auburn!.  On October 3rd at 8:00am, the chapel began the 1.6 mile trip from the site it has rested on since 1895 to the new home along Co. Rd. 427 on the Horsemen's Association campus.  The trip took exactly two hours at an average speed of about 3 to 4 miles per hour.  A few trees needed trimmed and a few road signs and power lines needed to move, but the old chapel completed the journey without a scratch!  Thanks to all of those that helped get her there that day, including the large crowd that turned out to watch history making history.

The Horsemen’s Association would like to thank everyone that has supported the project to date and remind everyone that donations are still being accepted to complete the restoration and preservation.  Our address is P.O. Box 16, Auburn, Indiana 46706 or email: drafthorse5873@gmail.com

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!
