Notes
|
The calf barn was originally built in 1927, at the Van Hoosen Farm in Rochester Hills. This barn lost its roof in 1989 and remained in ruin with just the original walls until efforts began on restoration in 2012. The concrete blocks, stone and footings of the original structure were restored with a new upper section, roof, windows, doors and more, duplicating the original characteristics of the 1927 barn.
The calf barn restoration was funded entirely by private donations. Future plans include the addition of heat, and perhaps restrooms. Many weddings, parties and other events have been held at the barn.
