Built in 1944, this barn is constructed of concrete and features a gambrel roof. It served as an automated barn, using milking machines instead of milking by hand. Most of the milk was delivered to local logging camps so logging crews could have fresh milk. After the Motteler family sold the property, the barn sat vacant for many years, but has been renovated as an event venue.
