Roof replacement for the New Dutch Barn

Kilts Farm New World Dutch Barn is a unique historic site located in Stone Arabia, New York. Originally built by Johann Peter Kilts in the late 18th century the barn is on its original site and is part of a Palatine German homestead. The site was saved and restored by Willis Barsheid Jr, who collected tools used in many trades in the 18th and 19th century in Stone Arabia. After his death, Kilts Farm became a not for profit, educational site to teach historic trades, using this unique tool collection.
