About

Old signs, gas globes, and cars from yesteryear are all crammed into this barn in Branchport, New York. All of the items here are original; there are no reproductions—even on the outside of the facade.

Once a year the barn opens to the public as a fundraiser for the Humane Society. During the rest of the time, the visitors can glimpse the illuminated Americana within from outside the windows. You might even get lucky and find Joe in his barn and stop for a chat. Give him a donation for the Humane Society while you're there.
