Default We Can Help

LRS,

I sent you a PM on this with contact information. We are in "the barn" on Barndoor. We still display the original cow name signs in their original location, and have some other relics from the barn's original use that were kindly left behind by the previous owner. We also have a letter from a woman that lived on the island when the barn was operational that discussed what life was like back then, and a few photos that show the oxen pulling the hay over the ice, etc.

The barn was built by Charlie Roberts (of Robert's Cove lineage) from timber harvested on site, for Ralph Carpenter (the school in Wolfeboro bears his name), so lots of local history to dig up - could be an interesting island story and we'd be happy to help you pull it together if we can.
