The Barn House is actually two historic buildings: a granary and a cow barn, both built sometime between the late 1700's and the early 1800's. Jackson Clemmons joined the two buildings together more than 20 years ago, while he was in his 70's.
The Barn House is itself a work of art. During the tour, you will see and feel the beauty of the original hand-hewn beams of the barns, the ingenious design that fills the building with natural light, and the beautiful antique fixtures ranging from windows to doors to a two-way cabinet cleverly built into a wall. You'll also listen to the story behind the Barn House and learn about the path that led Jackson Clemmons, a pathologist, to create a masterpiece that manifests his deep love for historic buildings, family and community.
