Barn
You may drive by anytime to observe the barn progress.
A walkway (Eagle Scout project) has recently been completed
which connects the museum, the barn, and the parking. It is
handicapped approved.
Please be aware of any caution and danger signs. This barn remains under construction. The area is under video surveillance.
You may arrange for a private tour to learn about the barn and future goals.

Allison-Antrim Museum, 365 South Ridge Avenue, Greencastle, PA will host open houses on Thursday, May 1, noon – 3 p.m. and Sunday, May 4, 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.
Guests
are cordially invited to an afternoon tea on Sunday, May 4 between 1 p.m. and
3:45 p.m., which will be held in the reconstructed 1860s barn. The tea will be
the inaugural event at the barn site, where tables will be set up in the center
bays of the barn. Along with several choices of tea, tea cookies and sweet
treats will be served.
Ladies and gentlemen are invited to wear their best Sunday afternoon tea clothes. Vintage clothing or reproductions from any era will also be appropriate.
The special exhibit of tea chests, tea caddies, tea services (including miniatures), and tea fancies will continue on display inside the museum house.
In addition, on both May 1 and May 4, the behind-the-scenes rooms which are being used for storage in the museum house will be opened for visitors so that they may better understand the need for the climate-controlled storage rooms, which are in the process of being finished in the lower level of the barn.
In order that there are sufficient refreshments for the guests, please make reservations for the tea by calling 717-597-9325, by Wednesday, April 30. There is no charge for the tea or for admission into the museum house, but donations are accepted.
