The Damish Farmstead Store

The Homestead at the Barn 1893, Hampshire IL

The Barn 1893 is a single gabled, retired ramped dairy barn, now repurposed for your dream wedding. The barn is situated on 4 acres near the 1934 two story high style Colonial Revival brick home known as the Damisch Farmstead.

Its charming beauty sits on a hill in the country surrounded by farm fields, fruit trees and dated outbuildings.  The property is registered in Kane County as a historical landmark.

 

A Gathering Place

The Rest is History

The first wedding held at the barn was our son John and his wife Jill.  Since then we have expanded into other events including birthday parties, a bridal shower, and graduation parties.  We take great pleasure in providing a gathering place for people to come together no matter the event.

Enjoy The Barn 1893 for your next gathering.  At the Barn you’re not just our guest, you’re family.

Attending a 60th Birthday bash at the Barn was a blast! (from the past)!
The atmosphere was clean, with unique decor and friendly staff.  It is truly a beautiful location, authentically rich in history and it made for a very enjoyable time.

We chose the Barn 1893 for our event because of the character the place had.  The rustic charm of the barn was perfect for our occasion.  Thank you for accommodating our guests for our wedding.
