#83473: Crosby Threshing Barn

This barn, dates from the 1830s, and was saved from the lake waters of another TVA project, Cherokee Dam and Lake. After being stored by the National Park Service for years, State Park officials agreed to accept its components and reconstruct it here. The large structure is covered in clapboard and has a roof of wooden slats. The large entrance enabled oxen to be hooked up the threshing machine that went in circles to grind grain.
