Barn
"Raising" -
We are in the process of building a California-style
barn to house and display farm implements
and equipment and to provide a community
meeting space. The building will join the
Museum and Pittenger House on the grounds
of the Historical Society. FHS needs approximately
$250,000. to realize this dream.
