Barn Guestbook Archive: October — December 2002I represent the Coopersville Farm Museum in Downtown Coopersville Michigan. We have a beautiful 1 year old facility here that is available for receptions, meetings, etc. We have been booking wedding receptions as we offer the rural feeling many are looking for, but with a very polished and light look to it. We have a great set-up for caterers or do-it-yourself-cooks. Call or e-mail me or LeeAnn for further information. Rates are VERY reasonable as the purpose of the museum is preservation of this heritage. (616)997-8555.

What a plesant website for us Barn folk, great job! I am writing from our new home, a renovated barn in the Monashee Mountains of British Columbia. Having stood up to sixty or so years (no one seems very sure how many)of BC snow we decided that it was worthy of housing more than cats, rats and old memories and decided to renovate it. This took us two years of aching muscles, joints and blisters but we made it in on Christmas Eve 2001. take a look at our pics at www.redbarnlodge.com
I have calculated that this barn has had about 1800 feet of snow on the roof since in was erected!
Role on winter.
