Our Barn

The Chester County Barn is synonymous with the history and charm of our surroundings. It represents the heritage of this enchanting, bucolic area. Did you know that Chester County was one of the three original counties in Pennsylvania created by William Penn in 1682? In 1840, when our Barn was built, people were traveling by horseback or wagon over the covered bridges to their farms.

Without disturbing the integrity of our old Barn, we've added a modern glass house to hold our collection of annuals and house plants. The complementary juxtaposition of architecture is dramatic and spectacular. Enter the technologically advanced glass house and experience the "living" building whose computers open and close windows and shades automatically depending on the sun and temperature outside. Inside,music sets an ethereal mood for your stroll in the greenhouse where you can smell the herbs, feel the warmth and see the glorious colors of flowers.

Then, step into the Barn and you're back in the 19th century. Housing our unique, accessible collection of home furnishings, the barn is the perfect backdrop for couches, lamps, paintings, mirrors, and clocks. There ’s always something new to grace your table, set the mood in your den or accent your dining room. You can feel the history as you walk through the rooms with their stone floors and walls. Climb the wooden stairs to the lofts with their seasonal merchandise; you can almost smell the hay.

Come into the Barn at Gardners and experience something different.
