Circa 1850
Corn was a staple crop in the Shenandoah Valley for centuries. For preservation, corn for livestock was stored above ground in a detached building called a corn crib. This chestnut log building was moved here intact from a farm outside of Lynchburg, Virginia. Although they were once present in almost every farm very few of these buildings survive in present times.
