The Naugles Barn, originally constructed in 1937, has long served as a vital component of the Hallockville Museum Farm, supporting a variety of community programs such as barn dances, spring teas, quilting workshops, and beekeeping demonstrations. Moved approximately 1,000 feet onto the museum property in 2000, the barn was placed on a new full foundation with a basement, but remained largely unchanged—without plumbing, heating, or adequate electrical systems. Its lack of ADA accessibility and code-compliant life safety features eventually drew concern from the Town, prompting official notices in 2009 and 2011.
Recognizing the importance of the barn’s role in community life, and its potential as a rental venue for events such as weddings and private parties, the museum undertook a comprehensive restoration and renovation effort to bring the structure into compliance while preserving its historic charm.
