The Barn at Skillet Creek

For those of us that have stayed at the Skillet Creek farm I have posted a few pictures.

Things have changed at Skillet Creek. For one thing it is no longer called that, it is the Wheeler's Campground now. Click on the title of this post to see their site.

Secondly the old barn has been sided and changed. It does not look as interesting but is more likely to be around for a while.

The lower level has been converted into a workshop with a large garage style door carved out of the stone foundation. (The foundations of Wisconsin barns are made of stone up to about four feet because the local termites will not go any higher.


The inside, though, still has some great workmanship. The beams are huge and contain no nails, only pegs.

Here are some pics of me in the barn smiling like a goof and admiring the old barn. The upper level is now used for a video parlor. I am sure a few years ago this made money but now most kids are bored of these machines.
