Information

Historic Dairy Barn - (1915 Linden Drive) - (built - 1898) was patterned after barns in Normandy, France. F. H. King and other faculty had major input into the barn’s design to meet their needs for their research and instruction. This was the site for early research on vitamins, silos, barn ventilation and forage storage. A wing was added on the east side of the original barn for additional animal housing sometime in the early 1900s. A portion of the original barn now houses an equine teaching and research center. In 2007 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, the only barn so recognized..
