Supporting Our Community
Community Activities
We host a variety of events on the grounds to include a harvest season Halloween Festival, gardening classes, demonstrations of 19th century crafts, music, and more. They are all free to the public!
Education Programs
Demonstrations of 19th century farming and gardening techniques, growing heirloom plants, and historic tours are all part of our education program series. Contact us for more information.
Historic Grounds
The well-preserved barn is only one of a very few agricultural barns surviving in Holden. We forget that our town once had a diverse rural character. The Red Barn and other historical buildings in town are important reminders of the past, providing our community with a physical record of an earlier era.
Who we are…
The Friends of the Red Barn Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Our mission is to preserve the Fairbanks family barn and grounds and act as a center for community activities in Holden.
