History

The Kelly Round Barn was built in 1899 by the Kelly brothers, Hiram, David, Norman and George as a milking barn. In 1915, it was sold to the Meade family who operated it until the 1960s. In 1981, it was donated to the Erpf Catskill Cultural Center by Alta Industries, which reconstructed the deteriorated barn in 1988. [3] [4] [5] The barn has been the site of the Pakatakan Farmers Market since 1996. [4]

The 90-foot diameter barn was built with oak timber and set on a stone foundation constructed by local mason Henry Sanford. It is one of the first and only existing round barns to have a fully operational silo located in the center. Gravity was used to push the hay to the bottom after being loaded from the top. As many as 51 cows were lined around the perimeter on the bottom so they could graze while they were milked. This represented the technological advance of efficiency. [3] [4]
