Rebellion Barn

The Rebellion Barn is the most recent addition to our historic village. In 2017, the flea market that was currently housed in the venue was purchased by The Bright Foundation. This property was then gifted to Millard's Crossing. The addition of this venue has doubled our footprint at the village and we are thrilled to be accepting reservations for The Rebellion Barn!

The original structure was built around the 1950s. This is a relatively new building compared to the others found at Millard's Crossing. As we began renovations, hidden treasures were found within this barn. The original hardwood floors had been covered and are now a beautiful feature of the venue. Another clue to the history of the structure was a large chamber found underneath the barn. This may have been an elevator pit for grain, or simply a storage vessel.

This newly renovated venue is both heated and cooled and has a fully functioning kitchen. The Rebellion Barn can seat about 150 guests at one time with overflow seating on the large wrap around porch. Tables and Chairs must be rented for this space. Please see our Rental Price Sheet for more information. Linens are not included but may be rented at University Rental.

The Rebellion Barn includes the following:

• Kitchen (refrigerator/freezer, sink with hot & cold water, electric stove/oven) Restrooms
• 2 Garbage cans – one on the back porch, one in the kitchen (if you need more trash containers, bring them with you).
• Tables and Chairs must be rented for this venue. See Rental Price Sheet for more information. Depending on arrangement, this venue can comfortably seat up to 150 people inside at 6’ round tables (10 per table). The wrap around wooden porch outside may provide additional seating and entertaining space. Please arrange a visit to visualize the space. Tables and chairs must not be removed from the building/porch or placed on the grounds for any reason.

Chapel

The white wooden chapel was built by a Free Methodist congregation and used at its original location into the 1950s. The quaint chapel is currently available as a rental facility for weddings or other special events.

This church, which stood on the corner of Townsend Street and South Fredonia (Highway 7) one block west of South Street, was established in 1905 according to the Deed Records of Nacogdoches County. Free Methodists were an independent lot who did not agree with all the Methodist doctrines or practices – particularly that of charging a fee for use of a pew. The church disbanded sometime after WWII as membership dwindled and gas rationing made travel prohibitive for the circuit preachers that serviced the congregation. This church did not have a steeple until it was moved to Millard’s Crossing because a bell was a luxury many small congregations could not afford.

​This charming turn-of-the century chapel with seating for 75 to 100 people. The building is both heated and cooled, has a working antique pump organ, piano, and chapel bell. You decorate, candles are permitted.

The Chapel includes the following: (sizes and amount of furniture listed are approximate.)

• 17 pews which seat approx. 75 people comfortably
• Approximately 30 folding chairs for additional seating may be available on request.
• 1 Altar Table
• 2 Brass Candelabra which hold 5 candles each (use only dripless candles) 2 Wooden Lecterns
• 3 Bishops’ Chairs
• Chapel Runner Rug is 32' by 4' (optional)
• There are 10 chapel windows (each 6 1⁄2 ft by 2 1⁄2 ft)
• Sanctuary opening measures 8' 4" high by 12' 6" wide
• The pump organ, electric organ, and piano are available for your use. However, they are not to be moved. If the piano is not in tune, you may have it tuned (at your expense).
