The 1912 Barn is a 110 historic post and beam barn that makes a wonderful backdrop for a night out in the country. Located only 25 minutes from Springfield historic sites and 10 minutes from Decatur, IL this location makes it easy to tour during the day and relax by the camp fire in the evening. Decatur has a mini golf course, splash cove water park, children's zoo and museum, a governor's mansion for tours and 3 museums to visit. Milikin University offers local college level sports. Decatur has a great lake for paddle boarding, boating and fishing with canoe trips down the local Sangamon River. Several local breweries and cute market areas makes Decatur a great place to visit. Take a ride on the trolley and learn out our history. Springfield sites are only a hop and skip away with many things to see and learn. Museums offer great programs and the New Salem Park is a fun day trip with the kids to learn about historic living. Lincoln's sites around in several counties are great to see

Great stay
We scheduled this stay last minute on a road trip. It was nice to be able to book a spot without waiting hours for approval. The property was so nice, we had a shaded spot to park and camp. There was some wood in the fire ring, and they left out some marshmallows and roasting sticks and dog treats which was a nice touch. Also great, was that there is a bathroom and shower which we weren’t expecting, but was a nice surprise! They’re also located 4 miles from Lincoln’s first Illinois home, which was made into a park. We rode our bikes down the quiet, field lined back roads and checked out the park. Great stay, would stop again if we ever happen to be driving through the area again.

We were running late and got in late in the dark, Hank and Aissa met us as we pulled in and made sure we had what we needed. Great place to stop for the night and hosts were amazing!

Great time and incredibly relaxing
Outside of the rain that made tent setup difficult 😉, the property was stunning, peaceful, easy to find, and most importantly, Aissa and Hank were lovely and even invited us to see the workshop. Hank introduced us to a greak funk band, and we had a relaxing campfire, with plenty of available wood. Highly recommend a stay!
