Wyckoff-Durling Barn- A New Jersey Barn that is Brooklyn bound!

In December 2004, The Foundation was busy in Bellemead, New Jersey dismantling an 1820 Dutch barn. We were getting it ready for its upcoming re-erection at the Wyckoff Museum in Brooklyn, New York (Home to the oldest building in New York- c.1652). Mrs. Harriett Durling of Bellemead, N.J. made the barn available to the Wyckoff Museum to help them tell the story of the Brooklyn's lost farm history.

This will be the first barn raising in New York City in over 150 years! The Wyckoff-Durling Barn project will be quite an undertaking and we hope to begin rebuilding in the next several months. Please keep an eye out for an upcoming program on the History Channel detailing the entire Wyckoff-Durling Barn experience. An exciting project to be sure!
