Notes
|
The Bauer barn, a 32 x 72 foot gambrel style roof barn was raised in 1939. It was this barn that became the base for Clare Koenigsknecht. As a toddler he spent many hours in this barn. When Clare heard it was going to be taken down and replaced with a pole barn he jumped into action first selling the project to his wife and family. Then in early 2008 the family moved it down the road to the now Koenigsknecht family farm. The next three years were spent rebuilding and enhancing the barn. A new roof, siding, doors and floor were installed, all of the work was done by the family.
The barn has become more than a structure for the Koenigsknecht family. It holds the stories of Clare’s childhood and now the barn is use for family events.
