Poffenberger barn

Here's a project that I started seven years ago and it sat for all that time uncompleted. Finally the impending Second Battle of Greenbrier prompted me to hurry up and finish it.  It's a typical Pennsylvania bank barn - two stories with hay, wagons, and machinery on the upper level and livestock on the lower.  Barns like this were frequently dragooned into service as field hospitals during the Civil War and the conditions within were horrific for the wounded and dying.

The raw materials for this project were two of the Lee's headquarters kits manufactured by BMC and marketed under the Americana label.

Let us hope it survives the upcoming battle unscathed.

Soldier on!
