• 2006 Barn of
the Year Recipient •
Fitzpatrick Barn, Beaverton (Gladwin
County)
Not only was this barn selected as one of
the 2006 Barn of the Year awards, but was also selected as a 2004 BARN AGAIN!
Farm Heritage Award from the National Trust for Historic Preservation and
Successful Farming magazine. The barn is a 40’ by 60’ balloon-frame built in
1914 by Leo Fitzpatrick’s grandfather, and was restored by Leo in the 1970’s.
The barn was used as a stable and stored hay and grain. Today the barn houses
tools, equipment, and straw and stands like a beacon at the center of an
operation producing wheat, oats, corn, and beans.
