Details of Old Stone Barn
Andre Weltman January 2010
Folks from DCNR and even PHMC have now taken a more active interest in the
crumbling barn wall. There are definite plans to install a simple split-rail
fence as a passive safety barrier around the structure (perhaps with some
warning and interpretive signs) as soon as the ground softens up with the
long-hoped-for return of warmer weather. Further action to try to prevent the
stone wall from collapse is under discussion, but may be rather costly. As a
first step toward installing a fence -- and possibly to enhance any possible
work towards saving the structure from the ravages of gravity and time -- the 3
pine trees in front are now gone, as is much of the brush and smaller trees
around the rear/interior of the barn.
