Our timber-frame barns were originally framed of vertical
posts and horizontal beams, often hand-hewn from oak or pine
logs. They can be restored to expose and highlight the handcrafted
beams. These beautiful barns are often quite large, and can
be restored as a single building or combined with an antique
cabin.
