Halfway Prairie 1850s Animal Barn

Halfway Prairie Wildlife Area animal barn from the former Matz Farm homesteaded in 1852. Barn (pictured here) was constructed in the 1850s and the nearby home was constructed in the mid-1870s (home was largely burnt down in 1949 but some of the outer stone walls remain) after Mr. Matz returned from service in the American Civil War (conversation with Dane County Parks staff in 2018). Near the town of Cross Plains, Wisconsin.
