Prior to the party, the site of the barn would be cleared; materials procured and prepared, and staged; and the structure pre-assembled on the ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Today, all that remains of this barn is a field stone foundation, a monument to the past.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
