The Hibshman Barn

This historic complex includes the original farmhouse, wash house, stone barn, silo, tobacco shed, tobacco barn, and a second farmhouse.

The original farmhouse was built in three sections. The oldest section was erected sometime between 1750 and 1760. The one-and-one-half-story, stone, gable-roofed structure, which is situated at the rear of the farmhouse, was expanded in 1801 with the addition of a second section. A lower stone wing was then built circa 1803. The interior was designed in the Georgian style. [2]
