Hartman's Dorf Barn

This barn was originally built in the Schoharie Valley of New York State at Hartman’s Dorf, a settlement of Palatine Germans founded by Hartman Winedecker in 1713, and is one of the few surviving examples of New World Dutch Barns.

During the American Revolution, the Hartman’s Dorf Barn survived the British and Indian raid of October 1780 in which the valley’s barns were burned in an effort to destroy the food supply of the Continental Army.
