Circa 1860
This typical Valley two bay log “Switzer” barn was built by Israel Burner on his Shenandoah River farm in Overall, near Luray. It was painstakingly reconstructed after being moved in pieces to the museum site and now houses the Heartpine Café. Log barns were once common in this area but are now rare as many were burned during the Civil War.
