Completed in 1914, the barn pictured here was originally built to serve as the dairy barn for the Athens Asylum for the Insane. While the goal of the dairy barn was to provide enough milk for each patient and employee to have at least one glass of milk a day, the farm greatly exceeded that expectation. Providing more than milk, the dairy operation served therapeutic and job training needs by employing patients.

Over the years, the barn was home to several award-winning cows including Lotta Fay Korndyke, record producer of 31,501 pounds of milk in 365 days in 1931. By the 1960s, the herd had 221 cows and averaged 14,501 pounds of milk and 537 pound of butterfat per cow.

By 1977, the dairy barn had been virtually unused for ten years and was slated for demolition. Only nine days before the scheduled demolition, the Hocking Valley Arts Council rallied area residents and artists to create a Citizens Task Force Committee to save and preserve the barn.

The barn is now on the National Register of Historic Places and home to the Dairy Barn Arts Center, a nonprofit organization devoted to offering exhibitions, events and educational programs that nurture and promote area artists and artisans.
