Bardeen Culver Barn

English Barn 1693/1715

30’-7” x 50’

Built in 1715 from timbers felled as early as 1693, the Bardeen-Culver barn is currently the oldest dendro dated North American barn and one of only a handful of pre-1720 barns surviving in New England. The structure exemplifies many of the early framing and joinery methods of the 17th century. Four of the original five bents remain, along with a full set of plans, field notes, and dendrochronology documentation.
