The Barn Originally built by Dutch settlers in northern New Jersey during the early 1800’s, our restored barn now showcases the work of our community craftsmen here at Brazos de Dios. This two-story Dutch-English structure stands as a unique testimony to barn architecture—its 200-year-old chestnut and oak frame still secured with the original hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, locked in place by oak pegs.
