1. Bunkhouse and Wagon Shed Marker
This two part building has been reconstructed from measured drawings and remnants of the original which stood until 2003.
The lower of the structures is the older and dated to the early nineteenth century. It functioned as a wagon shed and blacksmith shop.
The taller portion, constructed after 1900, is a small bunkroom for someone tending to the maple syrup or other farm chores.
Two horse stalls were also housed behind the bunkroom.
Erected by The Dudley Farm Museum.
