Following the success of our first event, the Berthoud Historical Society is proud to present our second Historic Barn Tour, featuring three remarkable barns that reflect the region\u2019s deep agricultural roots. For many years, Society leaders and members have recognized the importance of creating opportunities to experience these working landmarks firsthand. As housing and retail development continues to expand across the area, the chance to view and appreciate barns connected to Berthoud\u2019s agricultural heritage becomes increasingly important. The barns we see today may not stand forever, making it all the more meaningful to visit them now\u2014to admire their craftsmanship, understand their purpose, and hear the stories of the farm families whose lives were shaped by the land.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Participants will have the opportunity to visit the Salomonson Centennial Farm, established in 1895, the Swanson-Nibbelink Farm (1918), and the Lebsack-Ritter Farmstead (~1900). At each property, guests will learn not only about the barn itself, its style, purposes, and history, but also about the families that lived on the property, the original land holdings, and the stories shared by the present (and past) owners.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Morning Tour – Begins at 9 am Sharp<\/strong><\/p>

Afternoon Tour – Begins at 1 pm Sharp<\/strong><\/p>

There will be a presentation at each barn every hour.<\/p>

To assure that each barn has a similar number of visitors, participants will be assigned their first barn to start with. Please arrive at your starting barn at least 5 minutes early so that the presentation of the barn and the farmstead\/family history can begin at the top of the hour (9am – morning tour or 1pm – afternoon tour). Once you have explored the barn and learned about the family farm, you will return to your car and drive to the next barn on the list.<\/p>

There will be a presentation at each barn every hour.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Docents will be sure to stop in time for folks to drive safely to and arrive at their next barn before the top of the hour. There will be signs and balloons to help you find the next barn as you get closer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
