Historic barn feature
Circa 1900 cypress barn character without confusing the main offer
The historic barn dates back to around 1900 and was built from local cypress timber milled from trees grown on the property. One of the old cypress trees still stands behind the barn. Artifacts, farm tools, antiques and a saddle help tell the story of the land.
The barn is presented honestly as a feature, photo backdrop and character-rich part of the venue. The primary offer remains a rustic outdoor event venue and cabin retreat in South Alabama.
