About
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.
