The barn’s relocation spanned a mere 150 feet, yet for a community that shuns contemporary agricultural machinery, this proved to be a monumental feat. Mr. Hochstetler, evidently held in high regard, garnered the support of over 200 individuals who arrived in their buggies to assist in the barn’s transition to its new site.
With the collective effort of so many willing hands, the task was swiftly accomplished within minutes, ensuring the barn’s seamless transfer to its fresh location, unscathed and in impeccable condition. Undoubtedly, a moment of great celebration!
For those unfamiliar with the sight of a barn being manually moved, investing a few moments to watch the video of this event is well worth it. While not entirely unprecedented, the convergence of such a sizable group to accomplish this task is a rare spectacle indeed
