J.G. Evans Barn
El Paso County
Built circa 1880, the J.G. Evans Barn is one of the last remaining barns from the earliest period of settlement and development in the Black Forest area. Typical of a Midwest three portal barn with its hand hewn logs, three bays, and broken gable roof, the building retains original materials, feed bins and stalls, and a tin-lined grain room.

Many of these barns once dotted the landscape across El Paso County; residential growth and a shift away from agricultural practices has resulted in a loss of many farm buildings. The Evans Barn stands as a link to the county’s rural past and the homestead era.
