The Barlow Barn stands as a testimony to the agricultural heritage of New York State.  Located at the head of a carriage turn-about next to the Barlow Homestead, the barn housed equipment, livestock, hay and grains that supported past generations.  Because the Barlow Barn also supported a ten acre vineyard, portions of the barn were dedicated to grape production.  The front east room, the Packing House, contained a small forge where equipment was repaired.  When grapes were harvested by hand, the Packing House was used as a staging area for sorting and packing Concords as table grapes for shipment to markets outside of the grape belt.

In June 2004 the Barlow Barn was awarded a New York State Barn Restoration and Preservation grant.  Using methods and materials that were consistent with 19th century construction practices, the barn was  jacked and shored and put upon a new foundation.  It was re-aligned, doors and windows were repaired or replaced, old siding was removed and reused whenever possible. The restoration was completed in 2006.  Construction workers happily reported that the Barlow Barn was prepared for another 150 years of use.

Ever since it was built in the 1860s, the Barlow Barn has been in use.  Today it continues to support an agricultural lifestyle.  It houses all the equipment used in growing fruits and vegetables on the farm acreage, stores the winter supply of firewood, provides storage and shelter for numerous projects including juice and wine making from estate grapes.  Unlike many 19th century barns, the Barlow Barn has withstood, avoiding removal and replacement.
