Homestead Barn
This Pennsylvania German bank barn is the type which the DeTurk family probably owned in the late eighteenth century. Portions of this barn are original; the lower level was a stable for animals, with the shed to the right as you enter used for wagon and implement storage.

Barn Threshing Floor
The upper level of the barn was used for the storage of straw, hay and grain; the central bay was used as a threshing floor or work area. The implements exhibited are of the type and quantity listed in the inventory of John DeTurk's estate in 1808.
