The Jackson Historical Society has pledged $43,000 to help the school (which owns the Trickey Barn) dismantle it and store the frame. The plan is to erect the barn on the Gray's Inn Property when funds become available through donations and grants.
While circumstances require that the Barn be moved, it is, nevertheless, critical that such an important part of Jackson’s history be saved and not lost. In addition to the historical significance, the Trickey Barn has unique construction features known only to exist in one other barn in New Hampshire. The structure is extraordinarily strong with the most striking feature being the long sloping wind braces that travel from the top of one post to the base of the next along the length and width of the frame. This, coupled with the continuous 36 foot tie beams, creates both a beautiful and very strong structure ideally suited to withstand the wind and snow loads experienced in Northern New Hampshire.
The Jackson Historical Society has joined with the Library Trustees in a plan to re-erect the Barn on the Gray's Inn Property for use as a new library.
