Restoration of the Morton Tobacco Barn

The Farm Heritage Conservancy has begun restoration of the Morton Tobacco Barn (ca. 1840) at our partner site Serenity Farm.

​

Built during the ownership of the Morton family, the barn was in use until the late 20th century. It is the oldest remaining pre-Civil War tobacco barn in the Benedict and Hughesville area.

Built in part by enslaved labor, this barn is a testament to those whose history has been forgotten. Once completed the barn will be available for tours.
