On April 4th ground was broken for construction of the Alexander Homestead “Dressed up” Dairy Barn.  A backhoe/loader was used to clear the site and begin grading for the foundation.  Next steps are to excavate the footers, build the forms to retain the gravel and concrete, spread the gravel, rough-in the plumbing and pour the concrete.  The three cupolas to be located on the roof of the barn also arrived last week.  They were made by an Amish craftsman in Pennsylvania.  When completed, the “Dressed up” Barn will be an elegant space with seated dining capacity for over 225 guests. 

A mesmerizing pond and waterfall was installed in March.  It is a key element of the sanctuary we are creating for outdoor weddings and events.  A Mallard Duck couple have already found our pond and have visited just about every day for the last three weeks.

The Garden Gazebo was also erected in March and landscaping is now underway.  The gazebo provides a picturesque focal point for outdoor wedding ceremonies.

Pictures of the barn construction, water feature and gazebo are located on the Photos page of this site.
