I have a confession. I love history. It should not come as a surprise to anyone! Now when I venture into the Jere and Patty Bruning Memorial Barn, I imagine all the incredible history that will be taking place in this beautiful location. Jere had such a unique vision for the space, and as the barn nears closer to completion, I repeatedly fall in love with the building, and I know you will fall in love with this space too.
If you have any event coming up that you would like to have a beautiful, unique location with the windmill lane as your backdrop, please reach out to us and schedule your visit and let’s get your event on the calendar. As always, there is so much more to every story! Find it! Be sure to stop by and share with me what you discover! #historymysteries #travel
