The Stoppel Barn

Built by George Stoppel in the 1860s, this barn is often classified as a "Pennsylvania Barn" - barns built into earthen banks and characterized by their large size.

The barn has wide openings at both ends, allowing for easy passage of people, wagons, or livestock through the structure.

The lower level of the barn contains many separate rooms including stalls for livestock, open spaces for workshops, and more. There is a small cave carved into the western side of the barn, likely for food storage. The vent to this small cave can be seen above ground near the barn's Western door.

The upper level is designed mostly for the storage of crops, particularly grain and hay.
