History
This barn was built in the 1950's and purchased by Larry and Nancy Carney in 1969. It was built in the early 1950s as a dairy barn. Today the barn houses 8 horse stalls.
On the opposite end of the barn is another quilt (listed under Bellamy) - which is visible from Hwy. 81.
Comments
The "Halfway Tree" is on the property and has many visitors each month!
To native Americans, the large bur oak on the farm
located on old Highway 81 just past the Brodhead
airport in Green County marked a point halfway
between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River. In
the 1800s, every spring, according to the old-timers,
the Indians, possibly Oneidas, passed north along
the Sugar River. They usually divided their party,
some ascending the river in canoes, others riding
horseback or walking along the bank. The Half-Way
Tree naturally was a favorite camping spot for the
Native Americans and became one for early white
settlers as well.
According to present-day experts, the tree is off by
about six miles, but there is disagreement about the
methods of measurement. At any rate, the old tree
still stands, protected through the years by various
owners, and still marks the half-way point, or close
enough to it, along the ancient Indian trail.
