History and description of upper floor inside the Spring Hill Ranch Barn at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve

Historic Spring Hill Ranch Barn Upper Floor

Originally, the upper floor of the barn was used to store hay and grain. Later ranch owners would also use the upper floor for storage. In the 1940s, four 1,000 bushel grain and feed bins were installed on the upper floor. Remnants of the former windmill can be seen in the rafters of the barn's roof.
