Trautman-Glenn Farm
Washington County
The Trautman-Glenn Farm is more a story of about their barn. In 1926, a tornado did a lot of damage to the farm. The barn hay mow was torn off, chicken coops were destroyed, wagons upset, and trees town down. Neighbors helped re-roof the barn.
The barn has also been struck by lightning twice, but didn’t burn down. And just last year, a 115 mile-per-hour wind blew a door off the barn and broke it to pieces. Not to mention the tornado and hail storm that passed by two miles away. The barn is still standing and in use today, and the farm itself is operated by the fifth generation of the family.
