One of some two dozen barns on the Omega Farms property in Williamston owned by Clifford Simmons, the Show Barn owes its name to the animals kept there in preparation for showing at fairs and other livestock events.  The barn was built in 1947 and was first used as a milking parlor.  During the 1990s, Omega stopped raising cattle in Michigan and moved their prize stock to Kansas.  Barns fell into disrepair but when Omega chose to bring their business back to Michigan two years ago, work began to rehabilitate the barns for renewed use.  The Show Barn is 40’ by 100’ and completely finished inside with ceramic tile lower walls, and tongue and groove paneling.
