THE BARNS

The Shawan Downs property includes a once-magnificent, twin-silo barn in need of restoration. The Land Preservation Trust anticipates the barn's rehabilitation; however, a partnership with an appropriate end user who shares in the Shawan Downs mission will be necessary to complete such restoration.

The LPT will solicit additional assistance from charitable institutions interested in such projects. No decision has been made about the final use of the three milking barns adjacent to the main barn. They are also in need of substantial repair and may eventually be razed.
