The Enterprise — Michael Koff

Rolling a 430,000-ton barn from one side of Route 85A to the other on Tuesday took precision and time. Joseph Hilton had Frank Osterhout built a massive barn on his New Scotland farm in 1898. A barn-raising, with 160 men volunteering, was held on Saturday, March 25, of that year; the crew returned to complete the work on Monday and Tuesday, March 27 and 28, according to an Enterprise account at the time.
