What is the Thomas Stone Barn?

The Thomas Stone Barn is a historic farm building. It was built a long time ago, in 1881. This barn is special because it's made of stone. It has been an important part of farming in the area for many years.

A Barn with a Story

The barn was built way back in 1881. It was designed by Isaac Jones and Walter Thomas. Walter Thomas was an immigrant who came from Wales. The barn was first used to keep farm animals and store hay. Hay is dried grass used to feed animals.

From Livestock to Dairy

Over time, the barn's use changed. It was later converted for dairying. This means it became a place where cows were kept for milk production. This change shows how farming methods developed over the years.

A Recognized Landmark

The Thomas Stone Barn is considered a very important historical site. It was added to the State Register of Historic Places in 2000. This is a list of important places in Wisconsin. The very next year, in 2001, it was also added to the National Register of Historic Places. This means it's recognized as a significant historical place across the entire United States.
