In 2001, the Town of Maine chose to build a new Town hall. After much planning we were successful in getting the building moved to the garden grounds. It is now fully restored for others to enjoy on our historical preservation site. This property is the work of thousands of volunteer hours and we are thankful to the great contractors, neighbors, friends and family members, who have brought new life to this old structure. In 2006, the 111 year old Round Barn was moved to the Willow property on September 13. The barn continues to be a work in progress, with monies raised from our festivals going to fund the on-going restoration. We are a family-run, family-friendly place hosting public and private events including festivals, weddings, corn maze, sleigh rides, corporate events, baby showers, and more.
