Historic Feature in Clear Creek Metro Park

Report

Report incorrect or missing information.

This barn is what remains of the Williams family farm. The Pennsylvania, 3-bay barn and overshoot is 56 by 29 feet and made mostly of pine. It features hand-hewn posts and beams. Smaller support lumber was cut with a two-person pit saw or water-powered sash saw. Vertical marks from the saw are visible on some of the smaller braces and beams. 

Originally purchased in 1837 by Edmund Williams for $1.25 an acre, the parcel is now heavily forested, showing little evidence of the cleared ridge top that existed in the 1800s when the farm was alive with crops and livestock.
