Hovey Barn, Date Unknown, Farm Dates to 1827


The Hovey Place, 3517 Duck Pond Rd, West Waterford region

Yankee barn, agricultural use, public access by request, stone foundation with post and beam framing, barn board siding, gable roof, wood roof covered with corrugated metal, high drive, entrance at gable front, approx. 90 by 40.

Sign out front says “The Hovey Place 1827” but this barn is probably late 1800s. House may have been built around 1820 by Asa and William Hovey. There was also a granary when the property was surveyed in 1980 by historian Allen D. Hodgdon.
