That is "The Round Barn".   You'll find it on rt 234 a few miles East of Arendtsville.   Very interesting dairy barn with a central silo for easy feeding and milking in it's day.   It is now a fruit and craft shop.

When I was a little kid my grandmother told me a man died in that barn running around looking for a corner to pee.....

Thank you sir, I didn't even know it existed.  I love old barns, and I wondered how I've missed it on my way home from the big show so many times.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you have to turn south off of 234 east of the show to get there.  Sounds like a great place for a little side trip after next year's show, or earlier.

 

Thanks guys!

You are correct ,   the round barn is West of Arendtsville on Cashtown Road.    BTW, there is a nice winery just across the road from the barn.

HaHaHa...I heard the same story when I was a kid, plus the one where the farmer's wife sees the daughter being chased by a farmhand. She yells "run to the barn, he can't corner you there".

 

Great pictures.
