New Barn Provides Much Needed SpaceThe Historical Society is excited to finally have our new barn at the Parmelee Farm. It took several years of searching for just the right barn that would suit the needs of the Society and fit the property aesthetically. The Society appreciates the many supporters that helped financially with the project, including the Lions Club hosting a concert specifically for the barn. Thank you to all!
Jim Lally and Schumack Construction did an outstanding job of the sitework, which included relocating the 1920’s Sears Roebuck garage to the area north of the farmhouse. The crew prepared the foundation for the new barn and kept the jobsite orderly. Special thanks to Jim and his crew. The Society is busy planning displays for the barn, focusing on the many farm related implements and items we have in our collection. An open house of the barn is planned for this Spring. |

Stop in to see our many artifacts and learn about Killingworth history. Tours can also be arranged by contacting the Society. Our beautiful new barn will also be open for tours. The antique horse-drawn hearse and many early farming tools will be on display in the barn.
