Reconstruction of 18th c. log barn as new exhibit of farm life at historic Hezekiah Alexander Homesite.

Phase 2 involved reconstruction of barn on new concrete slab finished to resemble earth floor with replacement oak logs hand-hewn and fitted where required; roof replicated with hand-split oak shingles; period shutters fabricated w/milled timbers; concrete footings dressed with stones from on-site quarry.
