This is the barn as it stood on the farm on Plymouth-Goshen Trail near Bremen in Marshall County, IN. It was built by Phillip Launderman of Bremen for Fred Aker Sr., farm owner. In 1991, the owners, Bernie and Shelly Schrone, donated the round barn to Amish Acres. Thanks to Shirley Willard, of the Fulton County Historical Society. |
