Several years of planning and hard
work became a reality in 2010
for the Fort Crook Historical
Society when the reconstruction of the
historic Beaver Creek Ranch Round
Barn was completed. Every effort was made
to use the original plans and construction methods.
The 150 poles for the roof were peeled by hand
using drawkinves and much of the lumber was
milled locally.
