Explore the Barn at Stenton

Stenton's Barn was built in 1787 while George Logan lived there. It is a two-story barn that had animal stalls on the first floor and storage for crops and tools on the second floor. Today, no animals live in the barn, but you can see 18th century tools displayed on the second floor.
