Situated on the southeast corner of the five acres that makeup the Ward-Thomas property is a renovated wooden barn with two cupolas. the barn has five stalls that housed the horses that pulled the carriages of the Ward and Thomas families before the advent of motorized transportation.

The two-story barn is constructed entirely of wood with slate shingles for a roof. The cupolas provide for cooling the ban as warm air exits through the vents. The barn features post and beam construction as was common for that time period(1862).

Presently the barn is used to display common items that were used in the past with two stalls featuring a typical kitchen and furniture display areas as they would have appeared at the turn of the century.
