Freeman Barn, Wallagrass, Aroostook County, circa 1925 - 1966
The Freeman barn in rural Wallagrass, Aroostook County, Maine is a Gothic arched bank barn facing east on Route 11 and overlooking the Fish River. The 49 x 73 barn sits on a 4.4 acre lot with hay fields of the original farm to the west. The barn sits at the edge of the abrupt transition from cleared farm land along Route 11 to thick forest to the west. Wallagrass is on the edge of the larger Aroostook County potato production areas. The Freeman barn is an example of an innovative barn architecture that is becoming rare nationwide and particularly in northern Maine.
