Collinsville Barn Raising

In June of 2006, Trillium Dell Timberworks and Willoughby Heritage Farm hosted a week long restoration workshop & barn raising. Willoughby Heritage Farm & Conservation Reserve is a 40 acre site operated by the Collinsville Area Recreation District. Plans for the farm include numerous educational and recreational opportunities. The farm and surrounding acres will showcase life on a typical family farm of the 1920's to the 1950's as well as the region's plant and animal life and, geological history.

The bank barn will become a well-known signature structure that will house livestock, and will provide interpretive all-purpose areas for community, recreational, and educational programs/activities. The lower level will open onto the pasture and will be used for animal stock and farm equipment. The second level will be ground level to the farmyard entrance and will be used as an interactive program area for interpretive display and recreation activities. The upper, haymow level is planned to provide space for development of a multi-purpose classroom.
