Work Progresses on the Maasdam Barns
A piece of Jefferson County history returns to its original state. The Maasdam Barns, located on Highway 1 south of Fairfield, received a HRDP grant to repair the roofs to the historic structures. Dick Reed, Supervisor and of the Maasdam Barns Preservation Committee, says they just started the work a couple of weeks ago.
"We're replacing the shingles on the mare's barn, it's the first one down the lane," Reed says. "They are wood, cedar shingles like the originals. The barn also originally had a wooden cupola on it. Since the buildings are for educational purposes we're trying to restore them back to the original."
Dan Reneker has been working to create a replica of the former cupola that was atop the barn, and Reed says things are staring to look really nice at the site.
"Once we're done with this barn, we'll start working on the others," Reed says. "But it takes a while when you're using volunteers. We've really been helped out a lot by grants, as well as donations from area residents for the project."
