The BTA Century Barn . . .

Located on the shore of Tappan Lake, the BTA Century Barn is an English style, three bay ground barn with louvered ventilation. In 2003, the BTA partnered with the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District and leased the barn for 30 years. Since then, the barn has been undergoing gradual renovations, and is now ready for use.

Thanks to more than 1,500 volunteer hours, some of the notable renovations include a new roof, pine flooring in designated areas, restrooms and showers available for summertime use, a kitchen, exterior paint, an expanded parking area, a new sidewalk and drainage tiles.

Additionally, the restored barn is now available for use by the community, for a donation.
