This stunning, 2-story renovated 1880s dairy barn is temperature-controlled. The breathtaking exposed beams and hand-stained original wood extends into the towering 1400 ft tall ceiling overlooking pine floors accented by stained glass details, imported 100-year-old doors, enormous vintage French doors with hand-cut glass, chic styling mixing iron chandeliers, hand-blown glass, and numerous exquisitely appointed details. The spacious bridal room has a private entrance located in a cottage-like field-stone structure. The private Powder Room has a full bathroom with a shower separate from the additional handicap-accessible public bathrooms. The catering kitchen has a stainless steel refrigerator, commercial sink, preparation tables, a commercial warmer, and a separate private entrance.

Fully ADA-compliant, the barn offers safety, comfort, and beauty in tandem with preserving history, a unique charm, character, and class as a year-round venue. Accommodations are 150 people for seated dinner events and 300 standing room occupancy. The towering silo is a unique interior space with a private entrance--a popular attraction. The Pavilion has open gable wood, exposed beams, and a high-arched roof with bench seating overlooking rolling hills. The east lawn has a historic 1900s Gazebo near the pond for a serene setting to host intimate nuptials. A large, round custom-built stone firepit set atop brick pavers is by the gazebo. An original grain bin near the Storybook Barn serves as both storage and vendor space with several chairs, tables, and other items that are currently stored in the grain bin year-round. Located only 10 miles east of Springfield, the MO-DOT-approved entrance on highway D offers clear sighting of oncoming traffic. There is ample parking for large events. The open field to the south provides space for large tents and event-related activities.
