Countryside Garage Home Tour

In Herman, Missouri, a rural town on the Missouri River, a fifth-generation farm produces straight bourbon whiskey from its own corn at Copper Mule Distillery. A custom timber frame visitor’s center, measuring 64' x 80', welcomes guests as they arrive for a bourbon tasting or a tour of the facility. The Mule Barn features a dining area, bar, gift shop, and gallery loft, all with authentic post & beam construction. A deck offers outdoor seating and overlooks the scenic farm. This is a great place to enjoy locally crafted bourbon and learn the history of small-town Missouri farming.

Hear the story of the barn raising at Valhalla Lodge: a thousand acre wildlife preserve in Lupton, Michigan. Senior Project Manager Alex Buhagiar describes the building process as the 5,375 sq. ft. custom timber frame barn is assembled. This will be a new trophy barn at Valhalla Lodge, including a kitchen, lounge, and cigar room.

We recently had the privilege of raising a 30' x 50' Bitterroot Timber Frame Pavilion for the Springfield Boys & Girls Club. This nonprofit located in Springfield, Massachusetts provides a safe environment for children and teenagers, offering academic support, mentorship, and engaging programs. The club recently added an outdoor park to the grounds, and turned to The Barn Yard for an authentic timber frame pavilion. With a large footprint and a clear span king post timber truss system, the Bitterroot Pavilion is the perfect choice for this space. Several picnic tables under the pavilion provide space for youth to eat, learn, and play throughout the day. 

Timber framing is a tradition we’re proud to carry forward: made in America, built timber by timber, to craft a better life for today’s pioneers. Because what we build builds us, and it’s all about building for the next 250 years. So let’s draw on that pioneering spirit in all of us to construct, frame, and tirelessly work hard to craft a better future, together. Happy birthday, America.
