One section of the barn is houses a kitchen and the Village Concession Stand along with dining space.

The barn is slated for a major renovation in late 2017 due to a $125,000 grant the Defiance County Commissioners will receive from the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission secured by then State Representative Tony Burkley.
