Big plans are in store for the 1870s circa building that was recently placed in the historic village at the Kewaunee Agricultural Heritage Farm. Last Wednesday, the building with a blacksmith shop inside made the trek from the Edward Mastalir Farm to the Ag Heritage Center. Mike Paral, a board member, shares the plans for the old structure that was donated.
Paral says the building's unique part is the granary's second-story with a blacksmith shop that is brick-lined for fireproofing. Plans for the building include a blacksmith forge and a wheelwright shop with woodworking tools for early summer demonstrations. Paral adds that the organization is always looking to add intricate structures to the Ag Heritage Farm’s historical village, including the Franklin Town Hall, a schoolhouse, and a gazebo from the Kewaunee County Courthouse.
