The Thomas Stone Barn stands apart from the numerous agricultural structures that dot Wisconsin’s landscape due to its stone construction, large size and expert workmanship. Built in 1881 of quarried limestone, the barn has changed little. The north façade has two broad, arched entries giving access to the hayloft. The basement level of the barn holds the original stable and an open stone floor. On the exposed south-facing basement, 10 evenly spaced doors open to the fields.
